13% hst tax for bc resident?

[masa]

hi there,

was going to purchase a firearm on your website but noticed the high tax rate. is this correct?
i live in vancouver bc, so i am not sure why i am charged 13% to begin with. aren't i suppose
to get charged the 5% gst?

They must be going by the old HST .
Call them & remind them we no longer have the HST
The people of BC told the Gov to stick it !
GST only on out of province purchases unless they are registered with the BC Gov to collect the PST .
It's up to you to notify the BC PST branch that you made an out of province purchase & would like to happily volunteer to pay the PST you owe

Ontario has HST only that's probably why
There might be something because your out of province but I'm sure the website is not whats going to catch it...

yeah... i thought something was off :/

should i call this in or should i just not bother with the purchase?

Just contact them to adjust to correct tax rates. Done that lots of times with out of province purchases.

To the OP:

BC residents pay 5% GST on all purchases from Ontario. The online ordering system defaults to Ontario taxation rates (13%) until you complete the Checkout screen, at which time the proper taxation rate for your province will be calculated and included in the final purchase total.
