Hello,

I have been reading the forum for a while and have been very happy with the information I have found.

I just recently started an online store. Most of my customers are local in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

I am wondering if I should be charging HST on my orders? all my product is shipped directly from China to the customer (dropshipping).

Most orders are under $20 so the customer is not required to pay duty.

So should I apply for an HST number and start charging taxes? or no?. I am not doing very much business at the moment <$500 a month (gross). But I do plan on starting a campaign to increase sales soon.

Thanks in advance for any help!
