What holds Canada construction companies back
Construction finance is harder than most: holdbacks held for months under provincial construction acts, T5018 reporting for subcontractors, progress draws rather than plain invoices, and costs that must be tracked per job.
Zoho Books addresses this by putting the sector's records, money and reporting on one data model, so a job, a customer and an invoice are the same thing everywhere. For construction companies that usually means cost and margin visible per site rather than only at company level, retentions tracked so they are actually collected, and subcontractor payments handled without a parallel spreadsheet.
We configure holdbacks on progress draws, T5018 reporting for subcontractor payments, and GST/HST by the province where the work is done. We configure the platform for the sector rather than handing over a blank tenant and a login.

Eleven current Zoho certifications held by named consultants, covering Zoho CRM Administration, Zoho Creator Developer at Associate and Professional level, and Zoho People. Tap any certificate to view it in full, and verify our partner status on Zoho’s official directory.
Serving construction companies across Canada
We work with construction companies in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Quebec City, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Halifax and Victoria and every Canadian region. Delivery is remote on ET and PT, with on-site workshops where multi-site operations justify the visit.
Hybrid working made the shared spreadsheet on a server share unworkable, and most Canadian operational systems have been rebuilt in the cloud since. Sector experience means we arrive with the questions already written, which shortens discovery and keeps the fixed quote realistic.
The pages behind this build: Zoho Books, Zoho Projects and Zoho Expense.
Getting Zoho Books for Construction Companies right in Canada
Most Canadian finance teams come to us with the same four problems. This is how we handle them in Zoho Books for Construction Companies.
Tax by the customer’s province
HST in Ontario and Atlantic Canada, GST plus PST or QST in BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec, and GST alone in Alberta: the right tax applies from the address on every invoice.
Input tax credits you can trust
GST/HST and QST paid on purchases is captured with the supplier’s registration number, so input tax credits are supported if the CRA asks.
CAD and USD side by side
Cross-border sales and purchases run in USD with exchange gains and losses posted automatically, while the books stay in CAD.
Bank feeds and close
Canadian bank feeds reconcile on rules, and a month-end checklist keeps the books ready for your accountant and the T2.
What we build for construction companies
A sector-shaped Zoho deployment, quoted as a fixed price in CAD before work starts.
Sector process mapping
Workshops with your operational team to map how construction companies really run, including the workarounds nobody documented.
The right Zoho apps
We deploy Zoho Books with holdback tracking and job costing, Zoho Projects for site-level cost tracking and Zoho Expense for site staff claims, and leave out the modules that would only add licence cost and training overhead.
Automating the sector's grind
Cost and margin visible per site rather than only at company level, retentions tracked so they are actually collected, and subcontractor payments handled without a parallel spreadsheet.
Canadian compliance built in
We configure holdbacks on progress draws, T5018 reporting for subcontractor payments, and GST/HST by the province where the work is done.
Reporting the sector runs on
Dashboards built around the numbers construction companies are actually judged on, delivered to inboxes so directors never have to log in to see them.
What Canadian compliance means for Zoho Books for Construction Companies
Sales tax in Canada depends on the province you sell into, payroll runs through the CRA (and Revenu Québec in Quebec), and privacy and language rules differ by province. These are the rules a Canadian setup has to get right.
| Obligation | What the rule is | What has to be configured |
|---|---|---|
| GST/HST, PST and QST | GST is 5% across Canada. Ontario charges 13% HST; Nova Scotia 14%; New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and PEI 15%. British Columbia (7% PST), Saskatchewan (6% PST), Manitoba (7% RST) and Quebec (9.975% QST) add their own provincial tax; Alberta and the territories charge GST only. Registration is required once taxable supplies pass CAD 30,000 over four consecutive quarters. | Tax applied by the province of the customer, GST/HST and QST registration numbers on every invoice, zero-rated and exempt items set correctly, input tax credits tracked, and a return report for each filing period. |
| Corporate income tax | Federal rate of 15%, or 9% on the first CAD 500,000 of active business income for Canadian-controlled private corporations, plus the provincial rate. The T2 return is due six months after year end. | A chart of accounts that maps to the T2 and provincial returns, entities kept separate, and capital cost allowance classes recorded on fixed assets. |
| Payroll source deductions | Income tax, CPP (QPP in Quebec) and EI (plus QPIP in Quebec) are withheld and remitted, usually monthly. T4 and T4A slips go out by the end of February, and a Record of Employment is issued when earnings are interrupted. | Payroll run through a Canadian payroll provider, journals posting to the ledger, and contractor payments tracked for T4A and, in construction, T5018 reporting. |
| Employment standards | Each province sets its own vacation pay, statutory holidays, overtime and termination rules, and some provinces add an employer health tax on payroll. | Leave, holiday and overtime policies configured for each province where you employ people. |
| Privacy, anti-spam and language | PIPEDA applies federally, Quebec's Law 25 adds stricter consent and privacy-impact rules, and Alberta and BC have their own private-sector laws. CASL requires consent for commercial emails and texts. Quebec's Charter of the French Language requires French in commercial documents. | Accounts provisioned in Zoho's Canadian data centre, consent captured for every contact, French templates for Quebec customers, and access and deletion requests handled on record. |

We configure the system to produce what these returns need, and we test it against your own transactions before go-live. We are not tax advisers: your CPA signs the returns, and rates and thresholds change, so treat this as the shape of the work rather than advice. Last reviewed October 24, 2026.
