If you purchase a boat in Nova Scotia and the government finds out about it they will send you an invoice (a letter demanding payment or proof the HST was paid on the transaction) for the HST for the transaction, 15% of the purchase price. They will ask for proof of the purchase price.
I've received such a letter and paid the bill. My boat was documented, so I needed to put it in my name. I made the boat's port of registry the port where I keep the boat. There is a theory I can't attest to that if you have a documented vessel you should make it port of registry in another province, preferably one like Alberta that has no sales tax. Ken H.
