Any other Canadian indies know anything about how taxes work for digital video game sales? Trying to work through it with an accountant now. Would really appreciate any insight/experience.
when you sell your game on a store, you yourself aren't really selling it; you have an agreement with that store giving them a license to sell it on your behalf. you owe taxes only for the royalties paid to you by the store. (this is the simplest/quickest summary).

So I made roughly 40k last year between digital sales and a bit of freelancing. It looks like in Canada if I make more than 30K I need to register for GST, so is that something I have to do now?

How much of it was Canadian? But yeah I think you need to register. It's pretty easy, and just have to file every year. Not sure how your store handles it tho. I am GST registered, both for sales and also contract work with Cdn companies.

Careful though, I don't know if it's the same in Canada but in France it cannot be considered as royalties. Google Play, the Appstore, Steam, etc are not publishers. They take a cut in the sale but your part is not considered a royalty.
