Who knows what the real deal is on this? I've read through the DawnsPlace court decisions - she ultimately lost - court said as a Canadian business she owes the 5% GST on subscriptions to her paysite from Canadians and NON-Canadians. I don't know all the facts of her case - I think she was using her own merchant account versus third party processing based in another country - just don't know if that made a difference. I just checked out DawnsPlace's join form and there's a 'Are you required to pay GST?' checkbox on it. Weird. Maybe that's a loophole she's found?

There are hundreds of Canadian webmasters and companies operating paysites, some using merchant accounts, most using CCBILL and/or Epoch - anybody had a review for GST? And if so, what were the results?
