Digital Ocean seems to charge based on residence. I pay 5% GST - there is no HST/PST in Alberta. But I pay this 5% GST on droplets that are in the NYC and SFO datacenters. The credit card charge now comes from Digital Ocean Canada, but the prices are still listed in USD. They appear to convert to CAD before charging my credit card. |

Duh, you're right of course. I know this, too -- I have to go through the same headache of charging different rates to my Canadian customers based on where they're located.
I must have been asleep when I wrote that comment... alas, it's too late to edit it now.

Right, if the service is being provided to you by a Canadian company then they have to charge GST regardless of where the servers are. The same goes for Tarsnap -- my servers are EC2 instances in the US, but I remit GST/HST for my Canadian customers.
