Canadian Consulting Company with USA Clients - Sales Tax Question

Hi All,

 

I need some help from the Community.

 

We are a Canadian company. We have a few Clients in the USA for which we deliver IT consulting services. The work is performed in Canada and mainly overseas.

 

As far as I know, we should be billing USA Clients as zero-rated for sales tax. Is this correct? 

 

Thanks,

 

Rory

Foreign customers (outside of Canada)
If you sell goods or services to customers outside of Canada, you are not required to collect GST/HST or PST, provided they take delivery of the goods or services outside of Canada. The service must be wholly used outside of Canada. If non-resident customers, such as tourists, make purchases within your province or territory, they are required to pay the GST/HST and PST. In some cases, they may be eligible to receive a GST/HST rebate.
