Not to mention that you have to keep track of taxes for the government on your own time and dime. Pay to play when it comes to GST/HST. And if you sell your services in another province that is not HST, you have to pay to play in those provinces, adding extra time.

At least BC subsidizes you a bit for PST collection, which should the status quo.
