Pretty simply; the buyer's location is known, and Canadian sales tax rules are much simpler than US ones: the buyer's province is all that matters. They add the tax rate for that province (if any) and the Federal GST, or a blended HST if that exists for the province, or no tax if the buyer isn't in Canada.
It beats having to set a bunch of money aside and work it out yourself at year end.
- slantyyz 16y agoDo they collect and remit the HST, or do they pass it on to you for remitting to the CRA? Sorry, I'm not an iPhone developer, and I was always wondering how the accounting would be handled.
- elai 16y agoI'm fairly certain that since they are the 'retailer' they collect and remit the hst. What the store pays you isn't subject to hst.
- slantyyz 16y agoWhat about the 30% commission? I'm assuming they charge you HST on that which you can recover in your HST filings?
- msbarnett 16y agoCollect and remit.
