paying tax in Ontario-from Alberta
IF a dealer in Ont. imported in a US C6 and has it now in their inventory and I wanted to buy it and ship to AB would I have to pay the full HST, or just GST or neither? When I bought buy 07 new from a Toronto dealer it was only GST?
thanks Frank
ps-I assume gst was paid when it was brought across the border......

no more GST or PST it's all just HST now - only 1 tax.....in the past you would pay the PST portion in the province of registration, and GST to the dealer, for dealers it makes no diff as we get it all back regardless
the dealer would have paid the GST at the border when he brought it in if it was prior to the HST and would claim it back...you would be responsible for the full tax amount GST and PST as a private purchaser if you bought it prior to the HST
if he imported the car after the HST took effect he would have paid the total HST amount at the border, once again claiming it back and you would still be responsible for paying the HST

I believe you pay taxes that you would normally pay in AB (5%) as long as the car is shipped to you there. If you take possession in ON then you would be charged HST (13%). Best to call your Min of Trans office and ask them.

thanks for your inputs!!

ps- I think they said the PST portion could be rebated later using a certain form once car was back in AB........
