Hello! I’ve done a lot of research about this but i’m hoping i could find better answers here. I’m a dancer and I opened a sole proprietorship as i make over 30k a year, free lance, and have expenses.

1. My issue is that businesses making >30k must collect and remit GST/HST, i make a flat rate on dances and can’t up charge to cover it. I’m wondering if I’ll have to pay this out of pocket?

2. To prove where my income comes from since I make 100% only cash, my friend suggested to write invoices to whatever club i work in. The only thing I’m worried about is yes I’m making $ in their establishment but they’re not paying me per se. I actually pay them a fee to work there. But, I can’t invoice every single customer I have.

3. Is anyone here an accountant in Montreal, Quebec! As much as i’m trying to learn this myself I don’t want to fuck up with the CRA since it’s my first year. I keep track of every penny but just want to make sure i do it right lol.

Any help is greatly appreciated! :)
