Accounting & tax planning built for incorporated e-commerce businesses.
E-commerce businesses operate across borders, across platforms, and at pace. That creates unique accounting challenges around inventory, cross-border GST/HST, marketplace fees, and multi-platform revenue that require a CPA who knows the space.
What makes E-Commerce accounting different.
Your industry has specific CRA rules, deduction strategies, and compliance obligations that general accountants often miss. Here is where we focus.
Cross-Border GST / HST
Canadian e-commerce businesses selling across provinces or internationally face complex GST/HST rules, including multi-province registration requirements.
Inventory Accounting
Inventory valuation method, cost of goods sold, and write-downs for obsolescence must be handled correctly for both GAAP and CRA purposes.
Marketplace Fees & Deductions
Amazon FBA fees, Shopify subscriptions, app fees, and advertising costs are deductible — but need to be properly documented and categorized.
Multi-Platform Reconciliation
Reconciling revenue across Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, and other platforms net of fees and refunds requires platform-specific knowledge.
Import Duties & Landed Cost
Businesses importing goods need to account for duties, brokerage fees, and shipping in the cost of inventory for both accounting and tax calculations.
High-Growth Cash Flow
Fast-growing e-commerce businesses often face cash flow challenges as inventory investment outpaces collections. Tax installment planning is critical.
