Is it normal to charge tax in your invoices? (I’m Canadian FWIW).

Wow guys I said I’m Canadian. I know taxes aren’t taken out of my pay. I’m charging $45/hr x 1.13% for our GST tax (Ontario).

In the United States professional services are non-taxable period. If you freelance you cannot charge taxes for your consulting. If you buy something you can pass on tax burden to client.

The agency Im freelancing for is only paying me the pre-tax amount on my invoice, and didn’t say anything about it. I called them on it on Friday and will probably hear back today - are they being sneaky or am I outside the norm? New to freelance. If adding tax on top of my hourly isn’t normal I would’ve raised my rate.

Uhhh I don’t think this is a thing in the US at least

@OP are you talking about being paid 1099, which means they don’t take any taxes out? Yes, this is normal for freelancers.

Hoser

It is normal.
