The boat was bought and sold in Canada, through a broker. The broker handled the transfer of the license. 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?
