A Quebec invoice carries two separate consumption taxes: the federal GST at 5% and the Quebec sales tax, QST, at 9.975%, both collected by Revenu Québec for most businesses in the province. The QST is calculated on the selling price before GST, never on the GST itself, so the two amounts are computed side by side on the same base. This template starts from a Montreal design studio billing twelve hours at $150 and $240 of workshop material: on $2,040 the invoice adds $102.00 of GST and $203.49 of QST, $2,345.49 in all. Revenu Québec does not impose a special invoice format, except for restaurants and taxi operators under mandatory billing, but the purchaser can only claim back its input tax credits and refunds if the document shows certain details, and those details depend on the total: under $100, up to $499.99, or $500 and more. The checklist beside the preview applies that table as you type.

What Revenu Québec asks to see, band by band
The table below is Revenu Québec's own list of the information a registrant needs on its purchase documents to justify input tax credits (GST) and input tax refunds (QST). Your invoice is your customer's purchase document, so this is the list that decides whether the tax you charge can be recovered. The difference with the rest of Canada sits in the first band: below $100, the federal regulations only ask for the supplier, the date and the total, while Quebec also wants the QST amount and a description.
| Detail on the invoice | Under $100 | $100 to $499.99 | $500 or more |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier's name or business name | Required | Required | Required |
| Date of invoice | Required | Required | Required |
| Total amount | Required | Required | Required |
| Amount of tax | QST only | Required | Required |
| GST and QST registration numbers | Not required | Required | Required |
| Purchaser's name | Not required | Not required | Required |
| Terms of payment | Not required | Not required | Required |
| Description of the goods or services | QST only | QST only | Required |
Totals are measured taxes included. A $95 sale before tax becomes more than $100 once GST and QST are added, so it already falls in the second band and needs both registration numbers. The template prints them automatically once you fill in the two fields.
Three Quebec invoices worked out
| Price before tax | GST 5% | QST 9.975% | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| $80 | $4.00 | $7.98 | $91.98 |
| $300 | $15.00 | $29.93 | $344.93 |
| $1,200 | $60.00 | $119.70 | $1,379.70 |
Each tax is rounded to the cent on its own total, which is how the amounts appear on the invoice. If you work with prices that already include both taxes, switch "Prices include tax?" to Yes: the engine backs out the net price with the combined rate and prints a statement that the prices include GST and QST.
Lines that carry GST only, or no tax
Not every supply in Quebec is taxed at the full rates. A zero-rated supply is taxable at 0%, so it carries neither GST nor QST but still counts as a taxable supply, for instance in the small supplier test; an exempt supply is outside both taxes altogether. Which of your sales fall in either category is set by the legislation, not by the invoice. Pick "Zero-rated" or "Exempt" on the line. The generator keeps those lines out of both tax bases, so a mixed invoice shows the GST and QST only on what is taxed. The province by province guide explains why the other provinces split their taxes differently.
Selling from Quebec to another province
The province on the invoice is the province where the supply is made, which in most cases follows where the customer receives the goods or the service, not where your office is. A Montreal studio billing a client in Ottawa charges Ontario HST rather than GST and QST. Choose the customer's province in the generator: the tax lines and the checklist change with it. The GST/HST invoice requirements guide covers the federal rules that apply in every province, and the Canada invoice generator starts from an Ontario sale.
Restaurants and taxis
Two sectors are outside this template. Restaurant establishments and taxi business operators in Quebec fall under mandatory billing: their bills must be produced with a sales recording module or system, and a customer who needs a copy of a bill of $500 or more for tax purposes asks the establishment for the copy produced by that system. A PDF made here does not replace it.
