Hi Bill, Just my personal experience... I bought my boat in Quebec, from a Quebec owner, but through a broker. Our purchase price included both PST and GST (2011).
The previous owner (Quebec resident) bought the boat from Boston (through a US broker) and had to pay GST upon entry in Quebec (2008). The boat was brought by road and taxes were paid through a "customs broker". I had to present all this documentation when I registered the boat with Transport Canada in 2011 and they were happy with everything. Two weeks ago, when I moved the boat from Quebec to NY, I had to present all these documents at the US customs. They seemed happy with what I showed, but I was a little bit puzzled as to why the US customs would verify this. cheers, Seb -- Sébastien Lemieux Merlot X, C&C 30-2 1988 Lake Champlain > On Jun 17, 2016, at 8:59 , Bill Connon via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: > > We've been having a discussion at the marina over sales tax payable in > Canada.
