that's when they said that because an American/etc could be vacationing in Canada at the time they signed up, everyone MUST pay GST initially.

most (maybe all) accountants will tell you that you should be fine (ours did for many years). our current accountant is still blown away by what ended up happening. we had no idea the govt would take this position until the audit - and at that point we got the tax lawyers involved. ugly.

edited to again emphasize that this is from the position of a paysite owner ONLY. regardless, talk to a tax lawyer if you are concerned...
thanks for your input on this. I really appreciate your info on this as much of this pertains to several ventures I'm involved in and will require some serious investigation with my tax and legal advisors.
