FYI: Not letting me post in r/CanadaPostCorp so asking the mods to allow this.

I need some help with flyer mailing. I want to mail out 5000 flyers but I’m not quite understanding the Canada post precision targeted tool. I can’t select EXACTLY 5000 houses to mail to so my question is, do I have to pay for extra postage (i.e. 5439 houses on route) and just let the flyers run out or is there a better way I can set this up to pay for and deliver exactly 5000 flyers?

Hi all,

I’m thinking of starting a small business in the lower mainland where I sell ad space on flyers to local businesses and mail them out to the community. The fee would be per space on the flyer and it would be a flat rate based on 5000 flyers being mailed out. My question is, how do I charge gst and pst on this if my service and the products (the flyer itself) are included in the single fee? Do I charge both on top of the fee? I.e. if the fee is $500 I charge 5% gst and 7% pst on it? Or do I have to seperate out the cost of materials? Please help! :)

Edit: I am also already registered for a GST number since this is technically a second business I’m starting (I’m already a self employed contractor) but not sure how that factors into PST.
