Hi everyone,

I used to work as a full-time employee for a US-based company (which had a branch here in Canada). Now that I received my PR I'm switching to work as a contractor for the same company.

I'm aware that I don't need to charge GST/PST when my customer is in the US. I'll invoice them with their US address and I really deal with their US folks as the Canadian branch was basically registered for the work permits and payroll of the employees in Canada and it's not really a proper company/office in Canada. But since they have a branch in Canada, should I charge GST/PST? I couldn't find a clear answer to this.

Anyone has ever had a similar experience or if know where can I find the official information?

I really appreciate your help.
