[Verse 1]
When your business starts to grow and climb
Thirty thousand dollars is the line
Four quarters past, you count it all
GST registration, heed the call
Solo proprietor or corporation
Same rule applies across the nation
Consulting services, goods you sell
Registration keeps you legal well
[Chorus]
Thirty thousand triggers the gate
GST HST don't be late
Four quarters back you calculate
Register now, don't hesitate
Thirty thousand triggers the gate
Cross-border rules you navigate
[Verse 2]
Canadian clients pay the tax
Zero-rated exports, that's the facts
Non-resident services you provide
May qualify for zero rate applied
But even with that zero rate
Registration still might be your fate
Total supplies determine when
You cross that thirty thousand line again
[Chorus]
Thirty thousand triggers the gate
GST HST don't be late
Four quarters back you calculate
Register now, don't hesitate
Thirty thousand triggers the gate
Cross-border rules you navigate
[Bridge]
Count your quarters, one two three four
Look back in time, what was your score
Taxable supplies add up the sum
Registration time has come
Canadian corporation too
Same threshold applies to you
Don't forget to check your books
Thirty thousand dollar hooks
[Chorus]
Thirty thousand triggers the gate
GST HST don't be late
Four quarters back you calculate
Register now, don't hesitate
Thirty thousand triggers the gate
Cross-border rules you navigate
[Outro]
When consulting pays you well
Registration story you must tell
Keep compliant, stay on track
Thirty thousand looking back
