The way GST/HST works is that you report what you collect MINUS what you paid out and the difference is what you owe them. In the case of zero rated, you can claim all the GST/HST you paid and you will get a refund from the government. If you are a professional (eg a writer) that has minimal expenses, you may want to sign up for the quick method. This usually works out better for you since you don’t have a lot of tax paid out. Its worth sitting down with an accountant to discuss your individual situation.
