Sorry, but nope. I don't know, maybe they changed the tax law in the past few years, but that was never the case before. I remember running an online operation from Canada, and both, my lawyers and the government told me that I only had to charge GST to residents.
The government even called me on it one time, and asked why my GST returns were so low compared to the income reported. I simply told them I run an online business, and the majority of sales are from outside of Canada. They were totally fine with that, because that's the law, and I was registered as a software company.
So either the law changed, or Dawn's Place pissed off the wrong person...
