FAQs
Common questions from Canada clients
How does iSpecia handle Canadian GST/HST/PST in SaaS billing?
Canadian SaaS billing is complex: GST applies federally, HST in participating provinces (Ontario, Nova Scotia, etc.), PST in BC, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, and QST in Quebec. We implement Stripe Tax with Canadian province-level tax rules, generate CRA-compliant invoices, and handle digital services tax for non-resident customers.
Can the iSpecia engagement qualify for Canadian SR&ED tax credits?
SR&ED applies to work performed in Canada. However, iSpecia can structure the engagement so your Canadian team leads the technical direction and documents the experimental development — which may qualify for SR&ED. We recommend discussing this structure with your SR&ED advisor.
How do you build a bilingual SaaS product for pan-Canadian distribution?
We implement i18n with en-CA and fr-CA locales, manage bilingual content in a CMS, send bilingual transactional emails, provide bilingual in-app help, and build bilingual marketing site pages. The fr-CA locale uses Québécois vocabulary and conventions, not European French.
