GST Collection by Amazon
Does Anyone can answer these questions.
Do I Have to remit GST to CRA myself when I didn't added GST number in my account.
Amazon Has been collecting Tax on all the sales from start, have they remitted to the govt their selves ?
As I didn't added GST in amazon account, Amazon was collecting and remitting the tax to govt and What proof I will show to CRA when I file Nill Taxes on my side.
Help will be appreciated.

If you haven't entered your GST number, they are remitting to the government themselves, on their behalf, not yours, since your tax number is not linked to your Amazon account.

If you submit an empty return, you will be audited by the CRA.

You should be talking to your accountant regarding your situation

This is an odd situation and absolutely needs to be answered by a CPA! I would not take the advise of anyone on the forum about this topic (unless they tell you they are a CPA, an Amazon seller that has not provided a tax number to Amazon and they run an Amazon business in the same province as you)

if you submit sales with 0 gst/hst you will be audited by CRA for sure, you will need a tax laywer not accountant to explain to CRA, some CRA agents know if you dont give GST/HST number to Amazon, Amazon remit the sales tax on their behave whereas some agents have no clue about, if you're unlucky and get penalized about that, eventually you will need an tax lawyer to sue cra on the court
