First of all, I was already stated that Gamma will pay the GST, so no need to go further and speculate that "they would jump on that". They will pay it, and then claim it back. Can you understand this?

It is not the sponsor's responsability to make sure YOU comply with the tax laws. You provide a service to a company, YOU should charge GST on your services.

Maybe you should see a tax lawyer...
I can confirm that. Gamma does pay you the GST, and the QST if applicable. You simply have to fill an invoice they have created to make it easier for you, and they will send you the check. Of course, you have to send that ammount back to the government, so you gain nothing of it, and they get their tax back from the government too, so they do not lose anything either. It is stupid to make this money go through all of this, but this is how it works

Of course, to claim taxes from them, you have to provide your tax number. And you have to get one of those only if you make more than 35k CAN a year.
