Dude, I saw Dan_Sim's comment below and I think you're headed for a world of hurt pretending that you are GST exempt if you ignore Canadians. You need to speak with an accountant - if CRA decides to audit you (as they would seeing that you are declaring income with no GST remittance) you could be in a world of hurt. See here: http://blog.9thsphere.com/blog/are-you-billing-gst-correctly-on-internet-sales http://blog.9thsphere.com/blog/are-you-billing-gst-correctly... Oh, and your list makes me feel unworthy. :-)

Thanks for the warning, I appreciate it. I think I'm fine, though -- I have a friend who works at CRA doing GST, and he (unofficially) agreed that avoiding Canadian customers should be good enough, and also commented that the CRA is unusually reasonable about honest mistakes, so even if I did screw something up, the worst I'm likely to face is being asked to pay the GST myself.
