GST / HST / PST for Dental Clinics

Most dental services are exempt from GST/HST, but cosmetic and certain supplies are not. We establish tax codes in Xero or QBO, correctly map items, and file on schedule, ensuring your clinic remains compliant and audit-ready.

Key Rules for Dental Clinics

Exempt services: most healthcare dental procedures performed by licensed professionals are GST/HST-exempt.

Taxable items: cosmetic procedures without a medical purpose, certain supplies and retail items (e.g., whitening kits, accessories) may be taxable.

Documentation: keep treatment notes, itemization, and codes aligned so exemption vs. taxability is clear in your books.
