Counselling and therapy now GST-exempt
If you are in any province other than Quebec, and you provide psychotherapy or counselling therapy services, you may no longer need to charge the GST/HST as of June 20, 2024.
Conditions for this exemption:
- you are licensed with a provincial body; or
- you operate in province with no regulatory body but have the equivalent qualifications required to meet the licensing requirements in a regulated province; and
- provide services within the scope of practice of the regulated profession. (See exempt services – psychotherapy or exempt services – counselling therapy for more information.)
Additional information can be found in Proposed Amendment – Exemption for Psychotherapy Services and Proposed Amendment – Exemption for Counselling Therapy Services. (Although these pages refer to a “proposed amendment”, the amendment is now law.)
If you confirm your counselling or psychotherapy services are GST/HST exempt, you must stop charging the GST/HST. If all of your services are exempt, you may close your GST/HST account. If only some of your services are exempt, you must keep your account open.
For more information see the Canada Revenue Agency’s latest media release on the matter.
