This one aspect every government all over the world will have to think
about. Although this is not a forum to discuss the subject, but most RSP are
directly affected by this phenomenan.
Governments should probably do away with Sales and service taxes and
probably stick to just Income Taxes on Total taxes only. Taxes on products
and services cannot be enforced to people outside the country and this
severly and negatively affects the business in one country while giving
unfair advantage to business out side your country.
Allthough there is one benefit Canadians might have, exchange prices for
currency :-)
Maybe you should register and do your business from India, apart from no
taxes, you get the benefit of lower paycheck of employees. :-) .
