In preparation for national events where the CKA invites Kinesiologists to get involved in their province and community to increase awareness of the profession, the CKA provides promotional resources, materials, and tools to Kinesiologists.
The CKA also provides, from time to time, documents and other materials to help Kinesiologists in the promotion and delivery of their services.
Please download and adapt the material at your convenience, provided you respect the CKA copyrights (Click on image or link).

The primary goal of these forms and documents is to give Kinesiologists samples to be used within their practice. The CKA is not responsible for consequences and damages that may occur as an outcome of their use or misuse, lack of completeness, or adaptation by Kinesiologists. It is to be stressed that the goal is to guide Kins, and if they have any questions about interpretation, they should seek independent legal advice.

List of applicable taxes per province
Note: If you are incorporated, the following information does not apply.
Do I need a business number if I am self-employed or own my own business?
Not all businesses need a business number. However, you will need one if you:
If you are from Quebec, you must proceed by registering with Revenue Québec.
For more information regarding starting your own business, visit here.
What is included in my income?
The Government of Canada defines business income as money you earn from a profession or trade, a manufacture or undertaking of any kind, an adventure or concern in the nature of trade, or any other activity you carry on for profit and there is evidence to support that intention.
For example, income from a service business is business income. Business income does not include employment income, such as wages or salaries received from an employer.
You must include all your income when you calculate it for tax purposes. If you fail to report all your income, you may have to pay a penalty of 10% of the amount you failed to report after your first omission.
What is the difference between GST and HST?
GST stands for Goods and Services Tax, while HST stands for Harmonized Sales Tax. The GST applies nationally. The HST includes the provincial portion of the sales tax but is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and is applied under the same legislation as the GST. The harmonized sales tax is a combination of federal and provincial taxes on goods and services in five Canadian provinces: New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island.
Click here to find out your province's GST/HST rate.
If you are from Quebec or have clients in Quebec, you must apply the PST (9.975%) and GST (5%).
If you have clients in a province other than the one you are registered in, then you must apply the taxes of the client’s province. If you are not registered to collect their provincial taxes, you do not have to apply it (e.g., if you are in Ontario and your client is in Quebec, you must apply only the 5% GST). In a province with HST, you must apply all taxes (e.g., 13% if you are in Nova Scotia and your client is in Ontario).
How does goods and services tax (GST) work when I am self-employed?
If you do not earn more than $30,000 per year in revenue your business is considered a “small supplier” and you do not need to charge your clients for GST/HST.
If you make more than $30,000 per year in revenue, you are required to charge your clients for GST/HST.
Note: If you supply digital services to Canadian customers, you are required to charge GST/HST.
