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

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?

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.

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

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.
