Canadian-Eh

Some of our followers have asked about World vs. Canada sales that our last news post was about. “Why do you track your sales in two ways?” they ask. Well, without revealing our sales figures, we can tell you this much. We have two columns: sales to Canadian customers and sales to World customers. The Canadian customers pay $7.50 plus GST. We’re located in Alberta so we don’t charge nasty HST or any PST. The non-Canadian customers pay $7.50 and there is no tax charged on it.

Well, it’s that time of year in the SaturdayMP basement… The tax deadline for filing 2009 personal taxes in Canada is April 30. 

We’re slowly gathering dusty papers to send to our accountants, the fine folks at Every Bean Counts (great name!)

Before SaturdayMP and the olden days of High C consulting, we did our own taxes using personal tax software and NETFILEd the paperwork then headed to the bank. If we were prepared, we’d have the correct crumbled up piece of paper with the (correct) amount we owed scribbled on it. There, the teller would stamp it several times, emphatically, then withdraw the money from our accounts in no time.

Hi,

I should introduce myself. I’m Ada, co-founder of Saturday MP. By co-founder, it basically means Chris asked me if he could start a company and I (finally) said yes.

Chris has given me permission to post to the blog. This may be a mistake because I seem innocent but I can also have a perverse sense of humour. While I’m no stranger to computers, the internet nor the blog-world, the circles I run in tend to revolve around knit blogs and ravelry. There, I’ve shown my true colours. You want more? I. Am. Canadian. I spell “Canadian” so you’ll see a lot of “u’s” in my posts. Chris doesn’t care as much - he’s Canadian too, but let’s face it, he doesn’t worry too much about spelling.
