About the GST/HST Return
Form GST34 is the Goods and Services Tax / Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) Return that Canadian GST/HST registrants file periodically (monthly, quarterly, or annually depending on revenue). The CRA mails a personalised paper version (GST34-2) to registrants who haven't opted into electronic filing. Most businesses now file through CRA My Business Account, GST/HST NETFILE, or TELEFILE. PDF Edit is useful for archival copies, for pre-filling before electronic submission, or for the rare situations where paper filing still applies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the GST/HST Return (GST34)?
Form GST34 is the periodic GST/HST return registrants file with the CRA reporting GST/HST collected on sales, input tax credits (GST/HST paid on business expenses), and the net GST/HST owing or refundable. Filing frequency depends on annual taxable supplies: monthly (over $6M), quarterly (over $1.5M), or annually (under $1.5M).
How do I file the GST/HST Return?
Most registrants file electronically through CRA My Business Account, GST/HST NETFILE, GST/HST TELEFILE, or Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Electronic filing is mandatory for businesses with annual taxable supplies over $1.5 million. The CRA mails a personalised GST34-2 paper form to registrants who file by paper — PDF Edit is useful to fill that paper form or archive a copy.
Where do I get the GST34 form?
The CRA mails a personalised GST34-2 (with your business number, period, and pre-printed identifiers) to your business address before each filing period. PDF Edit cannot generate the personalised paper version, but if you have it scanned to PDF you can fill it in your browser. Most registrants file electronically and never use the paper form.
When is the GST/HST Return due?
Filing and payment are both due one month after the end of the reporting period for monthly and quarterly filers, and three months after the fiscal year-end for annual filers (six months for individuals with December 31 year-end whose net tax owing is zero). Late filing carries a 1% penalty on the amount owing plus 0.25% per month for up to 12 months.
Can I file my GST/HST Return through PDF Edit?
No — actual filing requires CRA My Business Account, GST/HST NETFILE, or another electronic channel. PDF Edit fills the paper version (GST34) for archival, for accountants reviewing a client's return before transmission, or for paper-filing registrants. Use the CRA online services for electronic submission.
Is my business data safe with PDF Edit?
Yes. PDF Edit processes the form inside your browser. Sales figures, input tax credits, and net tax amounts stay on your device. No upload, no server-side copy, no account required.
Is this the official CRA GST34?
PDF Edit loads the standard GST34 layout. The personalised version (GST34-2) the CRA mails to registrants includes pre-printed identifiers we cannot generate — those must come from the CRA mailing or your CRA My Business Account.
Can I save and print the GST/HST Return?
Yes. Click Save to download the filled PDF. Use Ctrl+P to print for archival or for paper-filing where applicable.
