Question: I'm going to be in Canada speaking at several events. Do I need to charge GST?
Answer:
Yes.
As a professional speaker, you would be classed as a "non-resident performer" and:
"Non-resident performers selling admissions to seminars and other events must register for GST/HST even if they are small suppliers" (General Information for GST/HST Registrants, Canada Revenue Agency).
