It may be more successful if he could band together with other providers of the same type of service and file as a group...


>>Good points. Here in NC we have a law that basically requires us to report and pay taxes on goods or services consumed in our state - even if purchased from another state or out of the country. The end effect is that you are double taxed when using the UT. I wonder if there is an argument there? As Mike Y stated, perhaps Michel can demonstrate what country each of his subscribers reside in and then only those residing in Canada will pay the tax?

>Problem is that tax offices are not prepared to hear about specific cases or get any detailed information on your activities. You tipically fill out a form at some point and then you pay based on their categorization of your business. I think they path Michel took is the longest and hardest, but the one that can finally settle a precedent for others to follow. Let's just hope the outcome is favorable (not only for UT, but also for any other canadian online services with worldwide customers).
