Businesses that do not expect to have at least $30,000 in annual revenues are not required to have a GST/HST number.

A benefit for signing up is that you can claim input tax credits (ITC) for the amount of GST/HST you paid on your business expenses. For example, when you purchase materials for your business, the government will provide you a credit for the amount of GST?HST you paid for that purchase.
