The problem

Every filing period is a scramble you shouldn't have to repeat

Split-tax receipts turn every entry into a math exam. And when filing time comes, you're scrambling to total up ITCs, figure out net tax, and remember your deadline. Every. Single. Quarter.

"Let me just grab my calculator..."

Receipt says $147.50 total with $7.02 GST and $9.83 PST. What's the taxable amount? What's the zero-rated portion? Quick — your client is waiting.

The spreadsheet that "works"

Until someone sends you a receipt from Quebec with QST instead of PST. Or Saskatchewan with a 6% PST. Now your formulas are wrong and you don't know it.

Rounding errors that haunt you

You're off by a penny. The QBO entry doesn't balance. You spend 10 minutes finding a $0.01 discrepancy that shouldn't exist.

"When is my deadline again?"

Quarterly, annual, monthly — every client files differently. You're manually tracking deadlines in a spreadsheet and praying you don't miss one.

How it works

Enter your receipts. Get your filing numbers. Know when to file.

1

Enter your receipts

Type in the total and taxes from each receipt. ITC Wizard back-calculates taxable amounts, splits the taxes, and computes your claimable ITC instantly.

2

Get your filing numbers

Add your revenue and GST collected. ITC Wizard auto-totals your ITCs from all receipts and calculates your net tax — mapped to CRA GST34 return lines.

3

File on time, every time

Deadline tracking knows your filing frequency and province. Get reminders before each due date. No more scrambling or guessing when your return is due.

Features

From receipt entry to filing — everything in one place

Not a generic tax calculator. A complete GST/HST filing workstation purpose-built for Canadian small businesses and the bookkeepers who serve them.

Province-aware tax presets

Select BC and get GST 5%, PST 7%, PST Liquor 10%. Select Quebec and get GST 5%, QST 9.975%. Every province and territory, pre-loaded with the right rates.

Instant back-calculation

You enter $7.02 GST on a $147.50 receipt. ITC Wizard calculates the $140.40 taxable base instantly. No formulas, no rounding errors, no second-guessing.

GST/HST Filing Report

Enter your revenue and GST collected. ITCs are auto-calculated from your receipts. Net tax is computed and mapped to CRA GST34 return lines — ready for Netfile.

Client Portal

Bookkeeper plan: invite clients via magic link — no password needed. Clients enter their own receipts, upload images, and see their GST/HST position in real time.

Review workflow

Bookkeeper plan: approve or flag client-submitted receipts before they count toward ITCs. Full control over what goes into the filing report.

Deadline & instalment tracking

Know exactly when each filing is due based on your province and frequency. Get email reminders. Track quarterly instalments against the CRA $3,000 threshold.

Receipt image backup

Upload photos of every receipt right alongside the entry. Never lose a paper receipt again. Images are stored securely and tied to each transaction.

Lindsay Laforet

Founder, Elmpoint Bookkeeping

“I was processing split-tax receipts dozens of times a day. I needed a better way.”

The origin story

Born from real frustration, not a boardroom

Lindsay Laforet grew up in her family's three-generation small business in Western Canada. She started keeping books before she was out of high school — and never stopped.

After nearly a decade managing finances alongside her husband's growing business, she founded Elmpoint Bookkeeping to help small businesses across Western Canada. But one thing kept grinding her down:

“Every BC receipt with GST and PST meant stopping, pulling out a calculator, back-calculating the taxable amount, and manually building the split for QBO. I was doing it dozens of times a day. It was eating my time alive.”

So she had ITC Wizard built for her firm. The result: 6x faster. What used to take a minute per receipt now takes under ten seconds.

Her clients noticed. They asked for it. She improved the product, added province presets, Meals & Entertainment ITC tracking, and overlap detection — and turned it into something any small business or bookkeeping firm in Canada can use.
