Canadian GST Tax Form, Business number ???

I have been setting up tax info, and in the Canadian tax form GST506, it requests a business number. I am just a sole developer residing in Canada looking to have a paid / iAd supported app on the App Store, and don't have a business number. Will I need to register for one through the CRA? Will I have to create a business name? Anyone else who has been through this I would appreciate some guidance on what exactly to do.

Apologies, I seem to have found the answer already, so I will leave this up incase anyone in the similar boat comes across this issue.
Revenue Canada offers a very easy to fill online form to create a GST/HST Business Number at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/bsnss/tpcs/bn-ne/bro-ide/rstrctns/chcklst-eng.html, took me less than 10 minutes and a number was automatically generated. Did not have to create one as revenue will likely be less than $30,000 a year, but might as well voluntarily create one as Apple appears to require one.
Cheers

  • GST Tax ID field

    Dear All,
      I need to find a field for Canadian GST Tax that will show up in the customer invoice once I print it out. Can anyone tell me if any of the fields in tx OBY6 -> additional information is useful for this? And which field can dos this? Or if there's any other field that can comply with this requirement?
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    E.

    Hi,
    Try using any of the exisitng fields and map them in the invoice printout
    or
    try to add a field to the table is T001Z -Additional Specifications for Company Code. This will require an access key.

    Start a business. Because Apple collects HST on your behalf, you will need a business number and HST account from CRA. From Canada's perspective, you don't need that if your sales are under $30k a year. But everything is special where Apple is concerned. You can form a sole proprietorship or partnership. That is good enough to get a business number you can give to Apple. But it won't do much for you with Apple. You will still be considered an individual. You would have to form a corporation if you wanted a true business account. That would be a slow process as there are many hoops to jump through.

  • Edit tax form by field like in v4

    Editing tax form by field.
    In Adobe v4, I was able to edit a tax form generated by my tax software (Lacerte) by a field. Although this was not a fill-in field, I was able to click on that field and edit only that field.
    With the new versions [7 & 8], if I click on this same PDF file of a tax form, to edit it, it puts a rectangular border around the entire form and views the form as one big editable field. Then when I edit one area, it shifts the remaining areas of the form.
    Yet when I bring this same PDF file back to version 4, I can edit text by that field alone.
    Is there any way for me to edit a PDF field in version 8 the way it is edited in version 4: by field?
    Thanks!!

    Hi Ranjani,
    I believe you need this to be identified for Multiple Worksite Report (MWR) and since you would need to have plant code/unit/location identified in T5UTV.
    MWR would identify it based on worksite code in SAP MWR Report which is field WKSIT.
    Reporting Unit Number is maintained if it is provided by BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) to report the worksite on MWR.
    NC9901 Establishment code is used for NC9901 reporting which is a separate report.
    Thanks,
    Ameet

  • Tax Form - W2  - MMREF - Field - T101

    Hi ,
    We are trying out the new W2 - MMREF Form for Connecticut.
    And we need to enter the State Employer Account Number in the RS record  in location 248 - 267.
    The corresponding  field in V_T51T3 is mapped to "T101"
    How can we set the value of  "T101"
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Raj
    Edited by: rajasekar thangaraj on Feb 24, 2009 11:10 AM

    I don't know how to map T101.  But, you could use the "Maintain additional information for tax reporting" configuration under the "Tax Form Definition" node.  Enter your account number in here.  Then, change your mag media definition to use T5UX9-FLDXX (where XX is the field number in your config) instead of T101.
    Hope that helps.

  • Questions about Lulu ISBN, Tax forms, distribution, Please help

    Hello,
    I've wrote some poetry books and I recently added a new one.
    I hope I can ask the right questions and get the most up-to-date and correct answers.
    Well, I got the Free ISBN numbers from Lulu for all my books. I went for the global distribution.
    I went to update one of them tonight, before I buy proof copies of them all, and go through to 'accept' the distribution.
    I was going to purchase them some time this week.
    But when I went to update one of them, it said my title and author's name was 'locked'.
    I am worried about the whole tax forms thing, because honestly I don't know how that works, and I just wanted to write books, buy copies for my friends and family, and hopefully, if it is possible, get my books into some bookstores online or something. I don't know, just as long as people read them, I don't care so much about making money because poetry for me is great therapy and an emotional outlet.
    So I guess I'm wondering:
    Do I have to fill out tax forms in order to continue with the Free Lulu ISBN number and global distribution?
    I don't have a lot of money to spend on distribution and I just really CANNOT do the thing with the taxes. And I don't really understand it.
    I'm ashamed to have to ask these questions. I did read the terms of service and all, but I didn't know if it would really affect me or apply to me in a way where I HAD to pay anything for my books to be distributed.
    I know I should have asked this before hand, that's why I'm embarassed now. Please bear with me, I'm really new to understanding this kind of stuff.
    I live in the USA by the way.
    Also, if I DO have to fill out tax forms in order to get the free isbn from lulu and global distribution, is there any other way I can still have my books available for people to buy without me having to fill out tax forms and all?
    And would 'any other way' mean me having to start my books over again here on lulu (like, retire them and start new projects)?
    Any information will help me greatly. I apologize for my ignorance of the subjects.
    Thank you in advance, I greatly appreciate it.

    Hi!
    Thanks for replying.
    My books don't sell much at all, and I don't mind. I just thought that having an ISBN would make it more available to people, along with having the global distribution. I'd like to try to give a copy to my library and another bookstore here in town, the lady that owns it has taken my brother's books before that he wrote, as well. I wasn't sure if either of them required an ISBN or not. I'll try to go talk to them sometime so I will know. My brother used Lulu for one of his books, but used ... I think it was called 'damnation publishing' or something (it was a horror novel, please excuse the name).
    I understand and thank you for explaining what you did. But I have a tiny issue I might need to talk to someone in private about. I didn't really want to say it publicly.
    I'm really just writing books for fun, it's a great way to get out frustrations creatively. And I've been writing poetry for years now. I just like to have a copy of my book to say to myself "I did this, I can do something with my life".
    Well I'll tell just a little of my issue here... I live with my mom, I'm in my 30's and she advised me not to do the global distribution after I told her about what I read concerning taxes and all. She wants me to ... I think ... drop the ISBN and global distribution due to any taxes that will ever come with it. My aunt is into taxes for a living, and maybe she can explain it more to me.
    I, too, think it will be okay since I don't sell many books (I've been publishing here on lulu since 2012 after my dad died and I still haven't sold one book... I do buy them, however, and pass them out to friends and family). But my mom sorta got scared about this when I told her about taxes.
    Well, I'll just say it. I'm disabled, and I don't do taxes that I know of. My mom pays them but I don't think I do. (I've got some illnesses, I'm embarassed to say).
    So that's why I was not sure about how the whole taxes thing would affect me.
    I'm embarassed because I know a lot of people would look down on me because of my illnesses and maybe ask 'why are you on the internet if you're sick?' ya know. I'm very ashamed of my situation, but making books on lulu gives me something to look forward to in life. It's something I'm able to sit and do. (And I know I shouldn't worry what others think about me.)
    Anyway, I apologize for giving a life background story. I just wasn't sure how or if all this would affect me at all.
    I highly doubt my books will sell millions. I'm just happy to be here, and getting to do something.
    Well anyway, I do greatly appreciate your answer to my questions. I really do. I'll check back in a little while to see if anyone else knows anything about these subjects.
    I thank you again for your knowledge. :-)
    OH, also, would it be easier for me to just set the prices of my books so I don't get any revenue? I know this may sound strange, but I just love writing. I don't mind not getting paid as long as people will read my books.

  • Canadian HST tax issue

    Hello Experts,
                   I have a scenario where I need to configure Canadian HST tax but these Canadian Customers are linked to TAXUSX and it should be configured in such a way that Customer should still be linked to the TAXUSX procedure but also calculate based on Canadian HST and should go to a different account. Please advice me.
    I checked the old threads but in vain.

    How were the old tax codes (prior to introduction of HST) configured?
    The tax calculation itself is stright forward.  It used to be PST + GST, and now is HST. 
    What are the issues?

  • Outrageous business number to pay monthly

    I am trying to transfer my business number to a personal pay monthly account te companyI worked for have given me a PAC number. so all loverly. Until after waiting 40mins they say they can not do it on a pac number because the number is miving within o2 . I got through to live chat and said if it could not be done I was canceling the contract they took the details  and replied 
     "Please allow me a minute while I place a request to move your number to pay monthly "at which point it disconnecte.I phoned again the opertator said they should not have told me this I asked them to check if any thing had been done on my account amd was told the systems had een down all day and to try ringing back in 24hrsI asked to speak to a manager and was told he would call me back in 24hrs I have my doutesI HAVE NEVER EXPERIENED SUCH POOR SERVICE 

    alan123 wrote:When I spoke to business they said it would have to be done by the business account holder .I have left the business concerned so not so easy if i go to another providor the will shift the number with just the pac code does not make sense to me. If this is the case I will be canceling contract with o2 and asking for refund as they cannot transfer my number.Thats if I can actually get through to them.It isn't actually your number, it belongs to the business.  I'm not surprised that there is a requirement for the business to authorise it.  Think about it calmly from the business point of view, and bear in mind that the business is O2's customer.  The number will likely have been printed on business cards, or quoted in business emails.  Former business contacts could still ring the number for business related issues, so there is potential for poaching clients of the old business to a future employer.  I am NOT suggesting that is what you are planning to do, merely saying that O2 is absolutely right to require the business to authorise the transfer.

  • IPhone Developer Banking/Tax Form issues:  W8BEN, GST506E and SWIFT CODE

    Hey guys,
    I am new to this entire iphone development thing and having a hard time with this whole Banking/Tax Information process. I have a few questions I'd like to ask:
    1) I cannot for the life of me see a link anywhere on iTunes Connect to fill out an SS-4 or a W8BEN. Many have done so and even Apple's FAQ includes instructions and locations of these links for the forms. The FAQ also states that the W8BEN form must be done through Apple if being completed the first time and then mailed to update. I have looked all over but could not find it. I have heard rumours on other forums that W8BEN is no longer needed. Can this be confirmed?
    Does anyone know if I am still required to fill the W8BEN form out?
    2) Regarding the GST506E form, I have filled out the Legal Name portion with my legal name (including middle name), which I use for most of my legal documents in Canada, however my paid contract has already been electronically signed with my name (without the middle name). Will this provide an issue to the entire process?
    3) Similar to the missing W8BEN form, I did not find a place to enter my SWIFT CODE when filling out the banking information. At the moment the Banking info is frozen in place for "24 hours", waiting for the tax forms to come in. Is this still necessary?
    4) Does Apple have a number I can reach them at with regards to these issues I am having? The only place I can turn to is [email protected], but these guys have not emailed me back in almost a week. I have also tried [email protected] and [email protected], no luck either.
    I apologize for the long post, but this entire process is getting too frustrating and I am hoping someone here know the answers.
    Thanks for reading my post!
    Peter

    Thanks a lot for your post! I've been worrying they did not receive my info since they did not reply in any way. We'll see once the next payments come. I think they at least should have emailed me confirmation that the message was received. The same way they work with technical requests.
    Still. Does anyone know what to do about corespondent banks info?

  • S_P00_07000134 :  tax per business partner Vs Withholding TaX  Items

    In Withholding tax report S_P00_07000134, what is the difference between tax per business partner and Withholding TaX  Items that we have in the section Output Control and Lists?

    Hi,
    These are just the output options. If you select both, the output will come for both layout.
    "tax per business partner" is to sort the output based on vendor number
    and "Withholding TaX Items" is for sorting the output based on withholding tax type and tax code.

    Can you give us a LOT more info?

    Please wait? I'm sure it says more than that, right?
    Have you tried simply saving the PDF (it IS a PDF correct?) to your desktop and opening it from there?
    Did you get this form from the IRS or did it come from somewhere else? If the IRS again, what version of Reader?

  • Acrobat 8 Standard - Printing Tax Forms in Black - No Forms Toolbar

    I have filled out some tax forms in Acrobat 8 Standard, however, the font color for the filled out text is blue, and thus prints as a hard-to-read grey when printing on the laser printer.  I've searched and the standard advice seems to be to use the forms toolbar to change the font color, but when I go to View -> Toolbars, there is no option for the Forms toolbar.
    Is there any way I can get this damned text to print as black?  Seems kinda silly to have a form fill-out function that you can't print the result of!

    I was very pleased to find this info too. Thanks.
    But something a little more important than how to do it is why is it so hard to find? I'm sure there are many more people out there who can't find this and I think it's because it's hard to find. The intuitive functionality, offered by the Properties Bar in Acrobat, called the Control bar in Illustrator, and the Options bar in Photoshop. Acrobat also appears to be the only one in that list that doesn't contain a secondary tool pallet for each function offered by the Properties bar, found in the Window menu.
    I've been through everything Tina looked at and most of them seemed like they should contain the font color, although I couldn't find the Document Colors Option. And if it turned out that you can't edit the color, why would it pick red?
    So my two questions are, why is this solution so hard to find?
    How do you change the default font color so you don't need the Properties bar?
    Ok, I feel better now :)
