I would check with revenue Canada about this, but in my conversation with them GST is only applicable on Tangible Products over the amount of $30,000, there is no GST charge on a membership, and if a company in Canada is charging GST on memberships, then they are screwing the consumer.
my 2 cents

no, they are not screwing the consumer - it is the company that's being screwed, as we have to swallow the cost (obviously we can't charge gst to our members). the equivelent of putting cement blocks on our feet in relation to competition.
don't report gst on earnings (we didn't, as we clearly thought it didn't apply). but after a gst audit, we found out otherwise.
2 years retroactive gst on all earnings, as well as all future earnings. some one will need to fight this right to the top, in order to change the government's current policy. read the thread i posted above.
