Refund held - Due to GST HST filing
"Your T1 income tax refund has been held because you have one or more outstanding business GST/HST returns. For information on how to file your GST/HST returns" I do not have a GST/HST account, despite i got this msg? anyone in same boat? calling them as i write this. any views /inputs?
Edit - may be helpful for others.
Turns out we applied for one in 2023 for a business in my name. account number was allocated. In reality, we never need that, coz there was a seperate GST/HST account for my husband later. so just a mix up. CRA agent was so helpful.if anyone of you are in same boat and had zero income or never utilized that GST/HST account. here is what you need to do.
- call CRA, get the business number, get an access code, ask them for the period for which hst needs to be filed, file gst/hst as nill for the said period, submit (on canada.ca) and done.
