Default Re: Doing restorations across Canadian border?

Darn right it sucks. Welcome to the tax capital of North America. The 7% Goods & Services Tax (GST) is charged on virtually everything. That is in addition to any Provincial tax which varies from Province to Province. For example, here in Ontario, if you buy a $10 pair of socks the total ends up to be $11.50 ($.70 GST and $.80 Provincial Sales Tax added).

To follow up on my previous post. Not sure if the GST would be payable on parts and labor or just parts. I am not in a position to confirm if Provincial Sales Tax would need to be paid when returning as well. Also, since the owner is a non resident of Minnesota, he could make application to the State of Minnesota for re-imbursement of any State Tax paid for the goods and services. A complex matter, but can be worked out and costs estimated once the Customs information is available.
