Alberta

Booking, invoicing and payments for Alberta service businesses

PayDash is built in Edmonton. It takes online bookings with deposits, sends invoices with Alberta's 5% GST already applied, and takes card payments online or on the job — for service businesses in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer and across the province.

Sales tax in Alberta: 5% GST, nothing else

Alberta has no provincial sales tax, so a service business here charges only the 5% federal GST — the simplest sales tax in Canada. You must register for GST once your revenue passes $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters; below that, registering is optional.

  • PayDash adds 5% GST to Alberta invoices automatically and prints your GST registration number on them.
  • Tax is always calculated on the subtotal — never tax on tax.
  • Work across the border in BC or Saskatchewan, and the invoice applies that province's taxes instead.
