Ah, who needs a business number or CRA program accounts when you've got pipes to jump through and Goombas to stomp on? As the lovable lug that I am, I'm here to give you my expert advice on how my buddies from The King of Queens would handle themselves in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Registering for a Business Number: A Real Pain
Let's face it, folks. Registering for a business number is like trying to navigate Bowser's Castle – it's a total headache. But if you're gonna do it, make sure you've got all your ducks in a row (or should I say, Koopa Troopas?). You gotta gather your info, save or print that business number, and don't get too hung up on the whole "online session times out" thing.
My buddy Carrie would be like, "Doug, why are you even bothering with this? We're gonna make a fortune selling power-ups in Toad Town!" But I'd just shrug it off and say, "Hey, someone's gotta do it. And besides, it's not like we're gonna need all that cash to buy some decent food at the Mushroom Kingdom's finest restaurants."
Program Accounts: Because Even Mario Needs a Little Help
Now, when it comes to program accounts, things get real confusing – kind of like trying to understand Deacon Palmer's business ventures. But if you've got a BN and some CRA program accounts, you're golden! You can register for stuff like the Air Travellers Security Charge (who knew that was a thing?) or Digital services tax (what even is that?).
I'd tell my buddy Spence to just wing it and hope for the best. "Hey, Spence, I've got a feeling we're gonna need some extra cash to bribe our way out of Bowser's Castle." But Carrie would just roll her eyes and say, "Doug, you can't just make this stuff up as you go along."
GST/HST for a Business in Quebec: Yeah, Good Luck with That
If your business is based in Quebec, forget about it. You're stuck dealing with Revenu Québec and their forms and whatnot. But hey, at least the French food will be good, right? "Hey, Carrie, have you tried the Montreal-style poutine? It's like a taste explosion in your mouth...or stomachache."
Import and Export: Because Even Mario Loves a Good Trade
As of October 21, 2024, import and export are handled by the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA). Yeah, I know – it sounds like some real bureaucratic nonsense. But hey, if you're gonna do it, make sure you've got your ducks in a row...or should I say, Koopa Troopas?
In conclusion, navigating Mario's world is all about finding the easy way out – just ask me. "Hey, Carrie, who needs to register for business numbers when we can just jump through pipes and collect some coins?" But hey, at least we'll have fun trying.
That's it for today, folks. Remember: if you're ever in a jam with your CRA program accounts or GST/HST, just call me – Doug Heffernan, delivery driver extraordinaire. I'll be the one laughing all the way to the bank...or at least, the nearest pizza joint.
