You may have painted yourself into a corner. If you made less than $30,000, you should not have registered for GST. If you did not register for GST, you should not have collected it. Since you did collect it, and since the company that contracted you will undoubtedly claim that back, you must remit that GST if you have not done so already.
Since you actually invoiced your client and received payment, you must file as self-employed for this income. You will also be able to write off any expenses you had during that time period. Self-employment is not necessarily a formal "business."
If you did not register for GST, you can make a voluntary disclosure, and attach a cheque. Provide copies of the invoices and provide the details.
