I am wondering if I were to open a savings account with EQ at 2.33% yearly savings and use it as a trust fund for my collected HST, CPP, EI, etc. if this is allowed?

If yes, is it beneficial or no??

Thank you!

As long as you have immediate, liquid access to this trust fund, then I don't see a problem. If your company is incorporated, then the funds should be held in trust for the corporation. It is your responsibility to make sure that HST payments are made on-time to the CRA.
