The Challenge
Monthly B300 filings shouldn’t eat three days of your finance team.
Every month, Canadian licensed producers face the same grind: reconcile opening and closing inventory across twenty product categories, tally every sale by province, calculate federal and provincial excise duty at the higher of two rates, and hand-key twelve pages of a CRA fillable PDF. One transposition can trigger a correction request or an audit.
- Twelve pages of a government PDF form, re-filed every single month
- Opening and closing inventory reconciled across seeds, plants, flower, extracts, edibles and topicals
- Federal duty recalculated for every sale: the higher of a flat rate or 2.5% of price
- Provincial additional duty applied at a different rate for every destination province
- Manual ship-to lookups for every order to pick the right provincial rate
- A single math error can trigger CRA correction notices and interest charges

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is the output the actual CRA B300 form?
Yes. GrowerIQ writes directly to the official CRA fillable PDF template (B300 Cannabis Duty and Information Return, version 23e). Every field on every one of the 12 pages is filled from your live seed-to-sale records, so the output is the same form the CRA expects to receive — just pre-populated.
How is federal and provincial excise duty calculated?
The CRA requires the higher of two rates for each component. Federal duty is the greater of a flat rate per unit or 2.5% of the sale price. Additional (provincial) duty is the greater of a flat rate per unit or a percentage of the sale price, with the rate depending on the ship-to province. GrowerIQ runs both calculations for every sale and uses the higher amount automatically, so the math on page 12 reconciles to your excise duty liability account.
Does it handle all product categories on the form?
Yes. The generator populates opening and closing inventory across seeds, vegetative plants, whole plants, flowering material, pure intermediates, extracts (inhaled, ingested and other), edibles (solid and non-solid) and topicals. Duty pages 5 through 11 calculate by category: dried/wet, seeds, whole plants, extracts, edibles and topicals.
What if the CRA audits my B300?
Alongside the PDF you can download a Sales Breakdown CSV showing every individual transaction that contributed to the duty totals, organized by product category and ship-to province. That CSV, paired with the inventory accounting audit trail elsewhere in GrowerIQ, gives you a defensible paper trail for every figure on the return.
Can I generate B300 reports for multiple facilities?
Yes. Each licenced facility in GrowerIQ has its own organization profile with legal name, address and CRA licence details. Running the report generates a separate B300 PDF per organization with the correct facility information on page 1, so multi-site operators can file in parallel without duplicate data entry.
Does GrowerIQ submit the B300 to the CRA automatically?
No. GrowerIQ prepares the fillable PDF and the supporting CSV breakdown, but the return is still signed and submitted by your compliance or finance team through your normal CRA filing workflow. The B300 automation is a guidance tool that removes the data entry and duty math; the signer remains accountable for the submission.
