Hi Steve
It is the responsibility of the purchaser to pay the sales tax on the
purchase. The broker should make sure you understand that, and maybe
tell you what office to contact. Yes, the government will happily
collect sales tax on the same item multiple times - and I agree that it
sucks! But that is the law...
They probably got onto you because of the license transfer. Just took
them 2 years to get to it.

It's a 33 year old boat. I'm seriously asking how this is justified, I'm sure
there is some justification (not sure that it'll be logical), but hey .. I'de
like to know. The government collects sales tax on the same thing multiple
times?

If you bought the boat in USA and brought to Canada you pay the tax at

And don't feel so bad. It is 15% here

Subject: Stus-List Canadians - retail sales tax used boat
Hi All.
I bought the 32 two years ago, literally two years ago. I just got a
letter from the ministry of finance asking for 13% of the purchase
price. Do they expect me to hold onto that money for two years? is there
no kind of "right to a speedy trial" clause except instead of trial
something like "right to a speedy robbery". ?
I don't duck out of paying my fair share, I don't circumvent the rules
but the government already collected sales tax on this boat! 33 years
ago!
So they make me wait two years and now they want payment within 60 days
or ....
"If this information is not received within 60 days of the mailing date,
an estimated assessment with interest compounded DAILY at the current
rate from the date of purchase, may be issued"
yeah, that sounds reasonable
