How to register
You can register for the GST and the QST by:
- using either of the following online services:
- Register a New Business, if you are not registered with Revenu Québec, and even if you've been operating for some time (to register for consumption taxes, source deductions, corporation income tax and clicSÉQUR), or
- the registration service available in My Account for businesses, if you are already registered with Revenu Québec (you can access the service in the Consumption Taxes section in My Account); or
- filing form LM-1-V, Application for Registration.
To help us process your file as quickly as possible, make sure you only register your business once for a given Revenu Québec file.
