FAQ

Q1: What is "Extra-Provincial Registration" for a company?

"Extra-Provincial Registration" typically refers to the process a company needs to undertake when operating in a province other than the one where it was originally incorporated.

Extra-Provincial Registration

For example:

  • A company incorporated in Ontario
  • Starts doing business in BC or Alberta

Then it usually needs to complete Extra-Provincial Registration in BC or Alberta.

Q2: When is Extra-Provincial Registration required?

It may typically be required under the following circumstances:

  • Having an office in the local province
  • Having employees
  • Having long-term business operations
  • Having a physical store
  • Having a warehouse
  • Signing long-term contracts locally
  • Conducting continuous commercial activities locally

May not be required if:

  • Only has online customers
  • Receives occasional orders
  • No physical operations
  • No local employees

Q3: Does a federal company not need Extra-Provincial Registration?

No.

Many people misunderstand: "Federal companies can operate across Canada, so they don't need Extra-Provincial Registration."

In reality: Federal incorporation ≠ automatic qualification to operate in all provinces.

Federal companies still need to complete Extra-Provincial Registration in the provinces where they actually operate.

Q4: Is Extra-Provincial Registration required just for e-commerce selling to other provinces?

In many cases, no.

For example:

  • Shopify
  • Amazon
  • Etsy
  • Website sales

As long as:

  • There is no local office
  • There are no employees
  • There are no physical operations

Extra-Provincial Registration is usually not required.

Q5: Is Extra-Provincial Registration the same as registering for GST/HST?

Completely different.

GST/HST is a tax account.

Extra-Provincial Registration is a business registration under corporate law.

There is no direct substitution between the two.

Q6: Will Extra-Provincial Registration result in additional taxes?

Not necessarily.

But it may lead to:

  • Local corporate tax filing
  • Payroll
  • PST/QST
  • WCB
  • Local annual reports

For example, operating in BC may involve:

  • BC PST
  • BC Employer Health Tax

Q7: Will the company become two companies after Extra-Provincial Registration?

No. It remains the same company.

It simply: obtains the qualification to legally operate in another province.
