Just like if a canadian store sells goods to an american visiting Vancouver ... It is up to the customer to claim back the gst when he exits the country.
Now, don't give me shit that it doesn't make sense ... I am just giving you the time of the day...
Memberships is the same thing.
The best you can do now:
- get a good accountant
- start looking for a good tax lawyer, that has connections
- try to play the " i didn't know" and hope they have sympathy.
- negotiate a reduce amount ....

wtf this contradicts what everyone else is saying...
"all sales of services/ecomm done by a canadian corp on line are to be treated as being done INSIDE Canada, so taxable ..."
But I am not making any sales... I'm being paid commissions by a US company that sold someone a service.
So basically payments from sponsors are for referrals and are the same as me invoicing people for consulting...
Wtf if this is the case then every canadian webmaster using us affiliates for the last few years could get dinged anytime with this same charge...
Sounds like I need a US/offshore corp and have them pay me a salary or something if this is how it is...
Hmmm if you file over 30k self employeed they look for gst automatically don't they? wtf #$%^
