What 4invoices does for Canada
GST/HST/QST automatic

Bilingual invoicing automatic

— Our Canadian commitment —
Built for Canadian businesses, not adapted from US software.
Most invoicing platforms arrive in Canada as an American product with the word "color" replaced by "colour." We took the opposite route: GST, HST and QST treated as three distinct taxes (because they are), Quebec Law 25 compliance built in from day one, bilingual invoicing without a localisation project. Here is what that looks like in everyday Canadian operations.
GST, HST and QST — each in its own box.
Five per cent federal, everywhere. On top: HST 13% in Ontario, 15% in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. PST 7% in British Columbia, 6% in Saskatchewan, 7% in Manitoba. In Quebec, QST runs at 9.975% calculated on the GST-inclusive base — a compound calculation that few American software vendors handle correctly. Our tax engine applies the right combination based on the customer's ship-to province, not your business location. Revenu Québec does not accept quiet rounding to make QST match the customer's books — so neither do we.
CRA compliance from day 1.
CRA My Business Account, NETFILE for GST/HST returns, GST34 form for quarterly filings, T4 and T4A for income slips, electronic Record of Employment (ROE) to Service Canada within five business days of a termination. Quebec employees also receive an RL-1 to Revenu Québec, with QPP, QPIP and CNESST contributions calculated separately from federal CPP and EI. The output feeds your accountant rather than fighting them.
French in Quebec isn't optional.
Bill 96 and the modernised Charter of the French Language require your communications with Quebec consumers to be in French. Not just translated — in Canadian French that your customers actually recognise: courriel, magasiner, prendre rendez-vous, classeur, Agence du revenu du Canada. Every invoice template, every email confirmation, every contract has a French version produced by Canadian linguists, not localised from France French (which Quebec courts have repeatedly ruled inadequate). The Office québécois de la langue française publishes guidance; we follow it.
Federal PIPEDA + Quebec Law 25.
The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) applies federally. In Quebec since September 2023, Law 25 adds stricter requirements: express consent, stronger access and erasure rights, breach notification to the Commission d'accès à l'information within 72 hours, mandatory designation of a privacy officer. Our infrastructure handles both regimes: immutable audit log, consent register by purpose, pre-configured breach notification workflow. A data processing agreement is signed with every customer.
CASL — the world's strictest anti-spam law.
Enacted in 2014, the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation imposes fines up to $10 million per incident. Every commercial electronic message — email, SMS, even some app push notifications — needs documented express consent, sender identification with a valid mailing address kept active for 60 days, and a working unsubscribe link processed within 10 business days. Our marketing platform tracks consent at the moment it's given, retains evidence for the 3-year CASL window, and classifies messages so transactional ones (delivery confirmations, receipts) follow different rules. Implied consent expires after 2 years; we flag those before they lapse.
Quietly Canadian.
Colour, not color. Centre, not center. Cheque, not check. Programme (sometimes) for ongoing things, program for software. Dates as YYYY-MM-DD by default, addresses with the postcode in A1B 2C3 format on its own line at the end. Currency formatting $1,234.56 CAD with the dollar sign before the number in English Canadian (or after in Quebec French — we adapt by language). None of this is a tickbox feature — it's how the product reads from the moment you land on the homepage. US vendors don't do it. European vendors try, but they don't know the difference between France French and Quebec French.
Canada is not a market we're testing for product-market fit. It's a market we're committed to. Our 2026 roadmap includes integration with the federal Peppol e-invoicing pilot when it launches, expanded Canadian banking integrations with Tangerine, EQ Bank and Wealthsimple Cash, and connection to QuickBooks Canada and Sage 50 CA. If your business operates here, we want to be the platform you grow with — without ever asking you to translate "chiffre d'affaires" as "turnover."
