with you a couple of weeks ago regarding our consulting practices.
Thank you for your advice.

1.. GST registration. Do we need to register our businesses? Do we =
need to collect GST ? So far all of Chris=92s clients are in the US, so =

how would his situation change?=20
2.. Would you recommend a simple bookkeeping/tax software to keep our =
books?=20
=20
