Trucking and logistics move equipment and goods across a province with no provincial sales tax to track. An oilfield services company in Red Deer invoices day-rate work against purchase orders, a Calgary contractor books equipment costs against project draws, and an Edmonton distributor reconciles supplier terms in Canadian and US dollars. Alberta's tax simplicity does not remove the bookkeeping complexity of running a project-based business. Mountain Time (MT). Our team works 8am to 8pm ET, which covers 6am to 6pm MT, so Alberta gets a full business day of live coverage. ## Alberta tax and compliance notes ### GST only, no provincial sales tax Alberta is the only province that charges no provincial sales tax, so businesses collect the 5 percent federal GST and nothing else on top of it. That single rate simplifies invoicing but does not reduce the work of matching input tax credits to supplier bills before the GST return is filed. ### Payroll remittances and WCB Alberta CRA sets each employer's remitter type from average monthly withholding two years earlier, which decides whether source deductions are due monthly, quarterly or on an accelerated schedule. T4 slips are due to employees and the CRA by the last day of February, and most Alberta employers also carry WCB Alberta coverage for workplace injuries. ### Small business deduction and EFILE Alberta's low combined corporate tax rate for Canadian-controlled private corporations pairs with the federal small business deduction on the first $500,000 of active business income, so accurate income statements matter at year end. We prepare the GST and corporate tax workpapers, and only your CPA or a CRA-registered EFILE transmitter files the return. General notes, not advice. Filing is done by you, your CPA, accountant or registered agent; we prepare the workings. ## Industries we serve in Alberta - **[Field services](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/field-services/)** Alberta's oilfield service companies need day-rate invoicing and equipment costs tracked against every purchase order and job. - **[Construction](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/construction/)** Commercial and residential building across Calgary and Edmonton keeps contractors managing progress billing and supplier holdbacks. - **[Trucking](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/trucking/)** Long-haul carriers moving equipment and goods across the province need fuel, permits and driver settlements reconciled weekly. - **[Real estate agents](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/real-estate-agents/)** Population growth in Calgary and Edmonton keeps commission and trust accounting active for Alberta brokerages. - **[Agencies](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/agencies/)** A base of corporate head offices in Calgary supports marketing and consulting agencies billing retainers against project hours. ## Software Alberta businesses use - [QuickBooks Online](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/quickbooks-online/) - [Xero](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/xero/) - [Sage 50](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/sage-50/) - [Wave](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/wave/) - [Dext](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/dext/) - [All 50 platforms](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/) ## Services for Alberta businesses - [Bookkeeping](https://ledgerbpo.com/ca/services/bookkeeping/) - [Invoicing and billing](https://ledgerbpo.com/ca/services/invoicing-and-billing/) - [Accounts receivable](https://ledgerbpo.com/ca/services/accounts-receivable/) - [Accounts payable](https://ledgerbpo.com/ca/services/accounts-payable/) - [Bank reconciliation](https://ledgerbpo.com/ca/services/bank-reconciliation/) - [Month end close](https://ledgerbpo.com/ca/services/month-end-close/) - [All 84 services](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you have an office in Alberta? No, LedgerBPO does not have a local office in Alberta. We are the accounting and billing division of SS Support Network LLC, registered in Vancouver, Washington, with a second office in Pakistan that covers Alberta business hours. Your dedicated accountant works remotely inside your own software, so there is no branch to visit in Calgary or Edmonton. ### How do you handle GST for an Alberta business with no provincial sales tax? We reconcile sales, purchases and the bank feed inside your software and prepare the GST return workings each period, since Alberta has only the federal rate to track. Your CPA, or another CRA-registered EFILE transmitter, then takes those figures and files the return, since EFILE registration is outside what we hold. That still leaves plenty of bookkeeping work in job costing and payroll. ### Do you work with Alberta's energy-services and construction companies? Yes, we support oilfield service companies and contractors with job costing, accounts payable and month-end close inside QuickBooks Online, Xero or Sage 50. A dedicated accountant tracks equipment costs and purchase orders against each job, so margins are visible before the month closes. ## Nearby - [Calgary](https://ledgerbpo.com/ca/locations/calgary/) - [Edmonton](https://ledgerbpo.com/ca/locations/edmonton/) - [All locations](https://ledgerbpo.com/locations/) Next step ## Books closed.
