Markup is a financial and compliance platform for Canadian trades contractors. We handle the tax rules, holdback tracking, CRA deadlines, quoting, and invoicing so you can focus on the work that pays.
Canada has some of the most complex tax rules for construction in the world. HST/GST/PST varies by province. T5018 filing is mandatory for any subcontractor paid over $500 per year, yet most contractors have never heard of it. Holdback rules differ between Ontario, BC, and Alberta. One missed deadline can cost thousands in penalties.
Most construction software is either generic accounting tools retrofitted for trades, or enterprise platforms built for $50M+ general contractors. Neither understands the electrician running six jobs and doing paperwork on a phone at 9pm.
Every feature in Markup starts from the tax rules outward. The quote builder calculates HST before it calculates markup. The invoice engine tracks holdback as a separate liability. The dashboard surfaces upcoming CRA deadlines before revenue metrics. Compliance is not an add-on, it is the foundation.
Contractors work with gloves on, in bad light, on phones and tablets. Every screen in Markup is designed for thumbs, not mouse clicks. AI-assisted quoting turns a spoken job description into a line-item quote in under four minutes. If a feature does not work standing next to a breaker panel, it does not ship.
We build for the people doing the work, not the office. Every decision comes back to one question: does this help a contractor get on the legal payment clock?
Canadian tax rules aren't an add-on feature. They're the foundation. Every quote, every invoice, every report is built to meet CRA requirements from day one.
