No GST if you're making under 20 grand.... no PST if you're not selling an end product....
...meaning, if the band will be selling discs, THEY have to charge PST.... I had this issue come up a while ago, some cocksucker called the provincial tax office on me & said I was selling T-shirts & CD's and not collecting tax. Goddamn tax officer comes to the studio banging on the door. Explained to him that I ONLY SELL TIME and not a physical product, and therefore cannot charge tax on it. (Ontario tax office told me this years ago.) So as long as you pay for a CD you give the band (I buy spindles of 100, and give the discs to the bands free of charge... the band is paying for studio time... that's all!) , or they bring their own blanks, you don't have to charge PST.... just don't re-sell anything & you're good to go.
