Being charged HST on an item from ON.
 
Is this normal? I thought if we wern't in province we didn't have to pay tax.

Normal.
Canada Vendor will charge whatever Tax apply in your province

They have HST in Ont. as well so even if they charged with there defaults it would be there.

^ correct
But it depends on vendor. I bought a set of coilovers from a vendor in Ontario, didn't charge me HST.

When i charge my Ont clients they get charges ONT HST... No biggie really.

The harmonized sales tax in Ontario is 13%

Ours is 12%

That's the only difference. What used to be provincial sales tax is higher there than here, am I correct?

Selanne_200 10-14-2010 12:06 PM

yea their PST is 8%

bloodmack 10-14-2010 01:06 PM

Yeah if its going to ON there wouldn't be HST but since its coming from ON there will be HST.

the HST screws things up quite a bit for cross border shopping.

now if you buy something from Alberta, they have to charge you BC HST. a pain in the ass for alberta companys, and plus you pay more. before no PST was charged.

nah 10-14-2010 08:50 PM

they charge HST because it's a federal tax, you always have to pay the federal taxes.

jackmeister 10-14-2010 09:08 PM

the item will charge the GST/HST of the destination.

So if they sold the same item to someone in Alberta, it would only be 5% but 12% to BC.

That's not true, I knew quite a few online vendors that had to charge PST for orders shipped outside their province.
