It's almost tax time and I have a quick question about how you guys deal with GST.

When you get an affiliate cheque from a Canadian company you should charge them GST, however that does not happen because you simply get your cheque each pay period. But when doing your taxes you have to pay 5% of all services rendered for Canadian companies....

Furthermore, if you get a payment from Gallery Traffic Services, and they broker your traffic and the client is not Canadian based you shouldn't have to pay GST because you are providing a service to a non-Canadian firm right?

How do you guys deal with this?
I'm going to see my accountant tomorrow and see what he has to say. In the past I just paid the GST but this year there is a bit more $ and I don't want to give away that 5% if I don't have to.

Thanks in advance!
