Small Business & Side Hustles
Running a business in Mississauga means answering to three separate rulebooks at once: City by-laws decide what you may operate and where, MPAC and the City set what you pay on the space, and CRA starts collecting HST the moment revenue crosses $30,000. Miss any one of the three and the bill arrives later instead of disappearing — a by-law fine, a reassessed property tax class, or CRA back-charging HST you never collected. These guides cover each rulebook at the point it actually costs you money.
