about mowing Mrs. Shipley's lawn for $10
in Canada really small businesses have an option, no you don't have to pay tax on that $10
if you make under $30,000 gross revenue you do not have to collect GST on your sales but then you are not allowed to obtain credit for the GST you paid on your lawn mower or gas for the mower etc......
but you know the regulation of this kind of stuff is getting out of hand, in Ontario, since business licenses were brought up...... our Worker's Compensation laws here are trying to broaden its purview at every turn (just another cost to do business here)
a private homeowner hired a roofer to fix their roof, the guy fell off the roof, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board fined the homeowner $25,000 for not ensuring the roofer had valid worker's compensation insurance coverage....
so if you get the teenager down the road to cut your lawn for $10.00 and they get injured, now what? will you have the insurance company and workers compensation after you?
You better believe they will be. -- So you do the smart thing & hire an illegal to do the work.
And bury him if he gets injured.

Under the NRST of HR25, up to $1,200 dollars received per year from the conduct of casual sales by individuals is exempt from collection of the NRST. Basically if the sale is not a part of conduct of a certified retail business up to that amount there is no NRST to be collected from the buyer to be remitted as tax.
