Question for Canadian webmasters who sell items online

What taxes do you legally have to charge? Just GST, or your provincial
sales tax? How can you charge say Ontario PST to a person in Alberta?

What shipping system do you use? Canada Post, UPS, Fed Ex, etc?

At Fyre & Fraust Web Hosting/E-Mail/Domain Registrations and Web
Productions, we have to charge GST on ALL sales/services (local, federal and
international) and Saskatchewan PST to residents of Saskatchewan (though we
usually eat the PST and take a hit).

By rights, it is up to the purchaser to 'voluntarily' self assess and submit
the appropriate sales tax to their home province.

As for shipping, anything we ship out is either Canada Post, Fed Ex,
Purolator or Loomis. We found UPS charges on the heavy side.

Hope this helps!
