What's the GST/HST threshold for consulting in Ontario?

The GST/HST small supplier threshold is generally $30,000 in total taxable revenues. However, I couldn't find the specific source for this, and thresholds may have been updated. You may want to check the Canada Revenue Agency's website for the most current information.

i.

Ingest your sources

Upload firm documents — memos, workpapers, internal guidance. We combine them with a curated corpus of authoritative Canadian sources: CRA, FINTRAC, OSC, PIPEDA, ASPE, CSAE. All stored in tenant-isolated Canadian infrastructure.

ii.

Retrieve with authority

Hybrid retrieval (BM25 + vector) surfaces the right passages. Authority-aware reranking ensures a CRA bulletin outranks a draft internal memo — automatically. 0.95 context precision on benchmark evaluations.

iii.

Answer with evidence

Every claim is cited back to a specific source and page. If no grounded answer exists, the system says so — instead of guessing. Every question, retrieval, and answer is logged for audit.

— 03 / Security

A vault, not a chatbot.

Your firm's documents are encrypted at rest, encrypted in transit, and never used to train shared models. Access is authenticated through AWS Cognito with multi-factor authentication. Every query touches only your tenant's data.

— 04 / Tenant isolation

Your firm's data.
Your firm alone.

Tenant isolation is enforced at the database layer — not by instructions to a model. Your documents, queries, and answers are segregated at the row level. A mistake in prompt engineering cannot leak data across tenants. It is architecturally impossible.

— 05 / Data residency

Hosted in Canada.
Stays in Canada.

Deployed in AWS ca-central-1 (Montréal). Documents, queries, embeddings, and logs never leave Canadian infrastructure unless you explicitly enable an external model. Bilingual source coverage — English and French — built in from day one.

— 06 / Features

Six things that matter
in compliance.

i.

Cited answers, every time

Every response links to the source document and the section it came from.

ii.

Authority-aware retrieval

Regulatory sources rank above internal memos automatically.

iii.

Tenant-isolated by design

Your documents are never pooled with another firm's. Enforced at the database layer.

iv.

Hybrid retrieval

BM25 + vector with reciprocal rank fusion and cross-encoder reranking.

v.

Full audit trail

Every question, retrieval, and answer logged with source attribution.

vi.

Canadian-hosted

AWS ca-central-1. Data never leaves Canada unless you explicitly enable it.
