What we take off a Ottawa chiropractic clinic’s plate
The insured-and-cash service mix

Associates and reception staff are paid and tracked cleanly, with source deductions to CRA on time.
Orthotics and product sales

Why Ottawa chiropractors choose taxifi
taxifi was built in Ottawa, and the home market is a distinctive one: an economy anchored by the federal government and everyone who serves it, a bilingual client base, and steady suburban build-out from Kanata to Barrhaven to Orléans. Demand here is stable rather than boom-and-bust — which makes messy books an unforced error.
Layer onto that what chiropractors deal with everywhere — a revenue mix of exempt care and taxable product sales that most bookkeepers quietly get wrong — and the case for taxifi is simple: books kept current daily by AI, filings reviewed and signed by a Canadian accountant, and the HST split is handled correctly without you ever thinking about it.
Common questions
Is chiropractic care HST-exempt in Ontario?
Treatment provided by a licensed chiropractor to an individual is generally exempt, which means no HST charged — and no input tax credits on most clinic costs, so the HST inside your rent and equipment stays a cost. The bookkeeping consequence is that a chiropractic clinic's margins have to be read differently from a taxable business's, and the books should be built that way.
How do orthotics and product sales affect my HST position?
Selling products alongside exempt care can make the clinic a mixed supplier — some revenue exempt, some potentially taxable — which raises registration and proration questions that depend on your actual sales. It is a common blind spot in Ottawa clinics that grew a retail shelf gradually; the fix is having your accountant look at the mix once and set the books up to track it.
Does taxifi work with Ottawa businesses that serve the federal government?
Yes — a lot of Ottawa work traces back to government directly or through prime contractors, and that world runs on paperwork: proper invoices, clean records, and books that stand up when a prime or an auditor asks questions. Books that are current every day make that side of Ottawa business life routine instead of a scramble.
