Tax Status

ABC-Translation Services is based in Manitoba, Canada, and operates as a self-employed sole proprietorship providing professional language services.

ABC-Translation Services is registered under the Business Names Registration Act with the Manitoba Companies Office on July 16, 2023, Registry No. 10171028.

Our Translation Services Are Not Subject to Manitoba Retail Sales Tax (RST).

Under Manitoba’s tax regulations, translation and interpretation services are not considered taxable supplies under the Retail Sales Tax Act. This is consistent with Information Bulletin RST 030 (Revised: May 2023), which does not list translation services as taxable.

As our activities do not include the sale of taxable goods exceeding the registration threshold, we are not registered for RST.

We Do Not Charge GST/HST – Small Supplier Exemption.

We qualify as a “small supplier” under Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) rules because:
- Our worldwide revenue from taxable supplies was $30,000 or less in any single calendar quarter, and
- Our total revenue from taxable supplies over the last four consecutive quarters remains below the $30,000 threshold

As a result, we are not required to register for the Goods and Services Tax / Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST), and therefore do not collect or remit GST/HST on our services.

This status may change in the future if our annual revenue exceeds the small supplier limit. If so, we will update our registration accordingly and inform clients.

For more information, please refer to:
- CRA Guide RC4155 – Small Supplier Exemption
- Manitoba Finance – Information Bulletin RST 030

Clients requiring an invoice without tax are welcome to use our standard billing format, which includes all necessary details for official submissions.
