My step-daughter got a two week gig as a make-up/hair stylist assistant for a photoshoot. They've asked her to provide a GST # in order to get paid.

The relative who got her the gig told her she will need to set up as a sole proprietor for this. Before she goes down this road, is all of this correct? I have no idea about any of this stuff, but it seems like a lot of a work for a couple of weeks work.

A quick google search suggests that only small businesses earning over $30,000 a year need a GST #.

Any advice/help is much appreciated.
