Damn, looks like before you started a business, you should have done at least a basic amount of research...Even the flunkies down at HR Block know this very basic tax law.

it's obviously you do not understand gst.
over 95% of our surfers are not Canadian. so it is assumed those 95%+ are gst exempt (zero rated). we offered to block all Canadian sales - and of course Rev Can was not interested.
we are in effect absorbing a 7% surcharge on all signups, that we can not force our subscribers into paying - since competition is global - and they are not adding 7% to their prices.
