Exported services

Post by gibson »

I am a Canadian citizen just returned to Canada after living in the US for several years. I will be providing consulting services for a US based company, doing most of the work from my home office. I will set up a small business as a sole proprietor/independent contractor and invoice the company for my services.
I am confused regarding the "Exprted Services" as it relates to GST/HST. Certain services are considered zero rated if "provided to a non-resident person that are performed all or partly in canada". Does anyone have experience with this? Am I required to charge this tax?
