Generally -- at least up here (in Canada) -- you need to be both registered
as a business *and* register for a tax number/ID to be able to collect
sales tax on products/services; otherwise, you'd be collecting taxes and
not actually remitting them anywhere, which would be a form of fraud, I
imagine.
