I hope you can find a contract that is a little more solid than the actual marriage contract !:)

Oh, and I'll add my usual :twocents: Before you actually have anyone sign it, get it checked by a lawyer to make sure that it's valid in your area, and there are no gaping holes in it...

[DeepR]

It's me again !
My counter told me maybe I don't have to apply all taxes on my bills. Some profession don't have to add the PST, apparently.
I try to find the answer on the goverment website, but no results.

If someone can help me, even to give me the good link to any web site.....
Thank you:)

I'm not being sarcastic, I'm being completely serious. Don't get legal advice from an Internet forum. Laws, regulations and tax requirements change from country to country and vary by province. What works perfectly in BC may well not be valid in Ontario; what's legal in the GTA may not be in Hamilton because of some obscure business licensing requirement. A contract is meant to protect you and your client. Yes I know it takes time, and yes I know it's expensive, but it's the right way to go. Asking for this sort of thing on-line is the equivalent of saying "Can someone here please help me remove my tonsils?"

Hi Tirediron,
I know I can't get legal advice from an internet forum, I just try to find some good official website who can give me legal advice about taxes and the profession of photographer.
I met my accountant two days ago, and she didn't know the answer. I try to find on my side and she try to find on her side.
For sure it's take time, but I have time, for sure it's expensive, but if I can save 200 dollars here, 150 dollars there, I save it.

I'm also membership of two other forum, and if I can help someone, even if it's just advices, I'm doing it with pleasure. I will not giving law advices, even if I know the answer, it's not my job, I can just help him to find the good adress, the good website link, or whatever else. I'm new membership on this one, and I expected more a cordial welcome.
So I will continue to find an answer to my question...

Hi Deep R,

From what I know, If you sell more than 30,000 of goods or services per year you MUST charge the GST on all sales in Canada.

The PST I believe is optional (not sure). The main advantage in charging it is that you can get back the PST that YOU pay for items related to your business.

If you are charging the PST, you ONLY charge it for sales in your province.

You could ask a lawyer or accountant - that would be safest. You could also call revenue Canada for the GST and the ministry of finance in your province for the PST. I have found both services to be reasonably friendly and helpful for basic stuff.

Thank you, Marko,
I guess I have no other choice to call the government, and wait two-three hours behind my phone !
I hope that my accountant found the answer on my question before:)
If I found the good link on the government, I will add it on this discussion.

I must say I have found wait times and friendliness level to be 100% acceptable and WAY better than dealing with any cell phone company, insurance company or bank.
