Canadian Corp doing work in Canada for a USA Corp

Post by dgoodstadt »

Hello. My situation is as follows:

-I am Canada Corp # 1
-I am contracted to a USA Corp # 1 and paid in USD.
-USA Corp #1 has a contract with USA Corp #2 to use my services.
-USA Corp # 2 will use my IT Consulting services to work for their
Canadian Subsidiary Canada Corp # 2.
-While at Canada Corp # 2, I will be performing IT work for the final end client Canada Corp # 3.
- I will physically perform the work in Canada at the offices of Canada Corp's 2 & 3.
- At no time will I step foot in the USA.
- I am a candian citizen living in Canada.

Questions:
1. Do I charge the USA Corp # 1 GST?
2. Should I be W9, or Corp to Corp to the USA Corp # 1?
3. Do I have to file any USA tax returns or forms?

Thanks very much.
