The organization will collect and remit HST if projected gross revenue (from services) in the  12 months following start of charitable status exceeds $50,000.  

Remittance is usually on a quarterly basis for small organizations.  Larger organizations remit monthly.  So, if we started on 1 January, Revenue Canada would have expected a remittance  on 1 April.

If  our 'service' component is projected to be less than $50,000 from 1 January to 31 December, then it is a mot point.  However, if we are registered as an organization that is collecting HST, it may still have to be remitted, even if the threshold of $50,000 is never reached.

I'm not up-to-date on all the rulings and regulations so the above should be verified with the tax man.
