Certain psychotherapists and counselling therapists will no longer have to collect GST/HST for their services as of June 20, 2024.
The Canada Revenue Agency is committed to ensuring that all providers of these types of services are provided with the necessary information to determine their tax situation and take any necessary actions, such as closing their GST/HST account.
Please note that this information only applies if you are located outside of Quebec.
If you provide psychotherapy or counselling therapy services, you may no longer need to charge the GST/HST if you:
1. Are licensed with a provincial body responsible for the regulation of psychotherapy services (regulated only in Ontario) or
2. Counselling therapy services (regulated only in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island); or
3.Operate in province with no regulatory body but have the equivalent qualifications required to meet the licensing requirements in a regulated province and,
4. Provide services that are within the scope of practice of the profession in that regulated province
Exempt services – psychotherapy
Exempt services – counselling therapy
Once you confirm that your services are GST/HST exempt, it’s important to stop charging GST/HST on them.
