Never seen anyone in a hurry to send the Government what they don't deserve...

 

 

.. but at some point in time.. the PST folks in Oshawa will send you a letter asking to prove where you paid taxes on it, or remit same. This may or may not happen.. it's a crap shoot (I get about 6 out of 10 on airplanes).. and with them all busy playing with their new found (6 months full severence) money.. without even changing desks, or missing a days work, to go from a provincial worker to a federal worker on June 1st...there's even a bigger chance you won't see a letter.

i bought a boat in august last year and i only paid tax on the trailer when i went to get the plates. they didn't even ask me how much my boat was, just the trailer. I didn't offer them the info either.

 

and the feds surely didn't ask. so i don't know what the deal is either. good thing cuz that tax i thought i had to pay on the spot got me a nice trolling motor and batteries!

That's exactly what I did. Just payed the tax on the boat trailer. I just finished sending a cheque to the ministry of finance for tax on my boat and motor.

I thought I saw something last week when I was filling out my tax forms - something about "Did you buy a boat in the last year and did not pay taxes" - saw something to this effect on NetFile but didn't see anything in the forms??

Its a fishing boat. Send them 16 walleye fillets...but only 8 at a time, with skin attached. Wouldn't want them over the limit

Here's a start: For the application of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) or Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) to the supply of a new or used boat, please contact the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) by calling 1‑800‑959‑8287. Additionally, Provincial Sales Tax (PST) may need to be paid to the provincial/territorial government. You should contact your provincial/territorial Ministry of Finance to get more information on how to remit the PST.
