Billing software for Alberta marketing agencies
Alberta is the easiest province for agency billing — 5% GST only, no provincial sales tax. Retail pricing competes well against US neighbors.
Why Alberta matters
Alberta's 5% GST-only environment is the simplest tax framework in Canada. Combined retail rates are noticeably lower than HST provinces (Ontario at 13%, Atlantic at 15%), which makes Alberta a competitive client-acquisition market.
Calgary + Edmonton anchor Alberta's agency market. The energy-services downstream + a growing B2B SMB layer drive most retail volume.

FAQ — Alberta agencies
Does HubWho support Alberta sales tax?+
Yes — Alberta is 5% GST only (no PST). Stripe Tax computes per-line accuracy automatically; static-rate fallback is available for agencies that prefer manual control. Set it in Settings → Billing Policy.
Can Alberta agencies use ACH-equivalent (PAD) bank pulls?+
Yes. Plaid supports Canadian bank accounts (Big-5 + most credit unions). Bank-pull cost is 0.8% capped at $5 CAD via Stripe Connect.
Is Alberta a good market for resellers?+
Operationally yes — 5% GST-only is the simplest invoicing environment in Canada. The trade-off is a smaller absolute market than Ontario or Quebec. Most multi-province agencies headquarter in Alberta when tax simplicity matters most.
