>The Canadian taxation department has (once again) adopted a crazy "rule" for the application of GST/HST, this time to your service.

Hi Jim. It makes perfect sense.


>I do not see ANY reason why I have to pay the rate of the HST when I live in Ontario.

You made a purchase in Michel's province, you have to pay the sales tax their. Just as if you bought it in person. Very logical. This isn't a poll tax, it doesn't matter you live, it is a sales tax, that taxes where the transaction took place.

>I further understand that non-residents of Canada are being FORCED to pay this HST too.

Sure they have to pay the tax, but they can apply for 100% refund as foreigner.

>I hope, Michel, that you can achieve a reversal of this STUPID stance by the federal taxation people.

I can understand that you don't want to pay the tax, but it is logical.
