Businesses Located in Canada but Outside of BC

You are required to register with the ministry if you are located outside of BC but within Canada
and in the ordinary course of your business do all of the following:

 sell taxable goods to customers in BC,

 accept purchase orders (including by telephone, mail, email or Internet) for taxable goods
from customers located in BC,

 deliver taxable goods to a location in BC, (this includes goods that you ship physically or

electronically, even if you deliver the goods through a third party, such as a courier), and

solicit persons in BC (through advertising or other means, including mail, email, fax,
newspaper or the Internet) for orders to purchase taxable goods.

Please note: If you have only a website that is accessible from anywhere in the world, which
does not target BC, you are not soliciting sales in BC. However, if you have a website and
also solicit sales in BC by other means, such as through targeted Internet advertisements,
promotional flyers or newspaper advertisements, you are soliciting sales in BC.

As someone in Ontario I get charged 5%(gst) from some business's and 13% (hst) from others out of province. I do my research and deal with it. As for the $2.00 per box increase on Federal 525, not abig deal. Same with the shipping. Waiting for my order. Thanks.
 
This is a provincial thing, CRA don't care as long as they get their GST/HST. Dealers are not required to register with other provinces.
The provincial registration is a real pain in the keester. You then need to keep track of every province. It's understandable why many companies don't.

That's what keeping good records is for. Overcharge me and call it 'Ontario Sales Tax' when I don't reside in Ontario and I'd be contacting CRA to file a formal complaint!

just received my "fun pack". couldn't be happier with my purchase, fair price, fast delivery and good customer service. You've found yourselves a repeat customer.
 
I had a chat with these guys yesterday.
Seem like a great company to do business with.
The tax issue is a bit strange, but sounds like they don't have the man-power to distinguish for the different tax rates for out of province customers.

Will defiantly do business with you guys in the future! (assuming my ammo arrives haha)
 
Another opportunity for business lost. Poor record keeping abilities is no excuse for charging higher rates to out-of-province customers. Just a suggestion.. spend the extra money you receive from the rest of Canada on someone with the ability to manage basic paperwork.
 
The "must charge out of province tax" excuse smells like B.S.! It's very doubtful they have stores, warehouses or offices across Canada, like Amazon.ca, Canadian Tire or Walmart.ca for example.

If it ain't B.S., the seller should have no problem to provide you the tax number for the provinces he charges tax to. These can be verified easily. If he doesn't have these numbers, he's just pocketing the money and giving you a lame ass excuse (lie). You can actually report it to the ministry of revenue for investigation. There are quite a few businesses out there doing this illegitimately.


GST and HST / PST Numbers Search:

(I used a receipt from Canadian Tire, which lists BOTH their tax numbers - Federal and Provincial)

i used to run a webstore. i have an HST number (still have it) and CRA told me that i have to charge the customer the appropriate sales tax based on their address. its a huge pain in the butt IMO.
 
A taxable supply, other than a zero-rated supply, made in a non-participating province is subject to the GST. When such a supply is made in a participating province, it is subject to the HST.

Specific rules apply to determine whether a supply is made in Canada and whether it's made in or outside of a participating province. The rate of tax to charge for a supply is determined by the province or territory in which the supply is made, which is referred to as the place of supply.

I live in Ontario and bought a barreled action from Dlask Arms in B.C.They charged me the Ontario tax (which is high) if this means anything.I live 20 minutes from General Gun and they've never screwed me over in the 20 years that I've been dealing with them..just my .2 cents.Don't have to buy anything from anyone if you don't want G:
 
I bought a gun at a gunshow and the seller was an alberta based operation, I saved tax as they charged only gst no pst
I also bought an xcr from a vendor in Ontario as opposed to bc and save hundreds of dollars in tax because no pst just gst so maybe its dependant on the business and how they are set up?
