Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the responses, I appreciate it. It only took me 5 people in
the local HST office to get an answer and it was the senior ruling advisor
who told me this...basically no I don't have to charge HST (which is GST
plus prov sales tax to the rest of Canada) to a non-resident for what I was
providing-in this case. The world of internet and e-commerce is murky and
they could rule the opposite too-depending on your situation. However, they
told me that there is a new technical bulletin about tax and e-commerce on
the customs web site-it sounds really detailed. I am on my way to download
it :)

Cheers and thanks for all the help,

Lisa
