Accounting for Manufacturing and trading
Serving businesses in Canada
Manufacturers and traders carry stock, buy from many suppliers and often trade across borders. Their accounting has to track raw material, work in progress and finished goods, claim input tax credit correctly and keep import and export paperwork in order. Livida supports these businesses with bookkeeping, indirect tax, payroll and licences.
Who we work with
- Small and mid-size manufacturers
- Traders, wholesalers and distributors
- Importers and exporters
- Suppliers selling to government and large buyers
What makes the accounting different
The points that most often decide whether the books and filings are right for manufacturing and trading. In Canada, indirect tax is GST/HST.
Inventory and costing
Stock valuation and product costing drive margins and must tie back to purchases and production.
Input tax credit
Claiming credit on purchases needs matching invoices and timely returns, or credit is lost.
Imports and exports
Cross-border trade brings registrations, undertakings and documentation on top of ordinary tax filings.
Workforce compliance
Factory and shop-floor teams bring PF, ESI and professional tax obligations.
