Well it's that time of the year again so I challenged my accountant to find out come July if the HST in total would need to be applied to .ca sales I make. Seeing as a .ca can only be registered by a Canadian or one with status the GST applies, this is not open to debate. Since the HST will add 8% ( in Ontario ) I asked, will I be forced to add 8% to said sales. The short answer is yes, he cannot see a way to split the two taxes once they become one so the dot ca is now going to cost more among resellers/end users.
Personall I build the gst into my prices already and eat the 5% come tax time but now thanks to our great provincial leaders I have to either add 8% more or eat an additional 8%, meaning if I sold a name and never asked or added the tax I now get to eat 13% :undecided:
I know some here add the 5% and pass it on but how do you feel about adding an additional 8% now. In such a tight and small market place the additional taxation becomes a factor in doing business and obviously not happy about it. I wonder how members from other provinces ( Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick ) have been handling the hst on their dot ca sales because I have NEVER seen anyone mention it apart from gst.
