How you are paid and file your taxes as a real estate agent will determine how you get any GST refunds you may be entitled to.
- If you are paid on a T4A slip or other methods as a Self-Employed agent, you will need to be a GST/HST registrant and file a separate GST tax return.
- If you are paid as an employee on a T4 slip, you will need your employer to complete and sign a T2200 - Declarations of Conditions of Employment. You can then claim a GST370 Rebate on any employment expenses you have incurred and receive the rebate on your tax return.
