Yes you do, taxes are (at least supposed to be) charged based on destination province and using its tax rates, not based on the vendor's province.

nah he is right. If you are in a province with HST and you order from a province that only charges GST, they are supposed to charge you the full HST. Taxes for online orders are based on destination province, not province of sale.
I have bought around 10 rifles from TI, so I should know. Yes, no?
Tax is 5 % if you are in BC and order from Tactical Imports as well as many others like Tenda, SFRC, Ellwood Epps, Marstar and others in Alberta as well I have ordered from in the last year.
Reason is because in BC we have GST and PST, not HST like in Ontario.
So please stop claiming something you obviously have no clue about.
My last order from Tenda

So the non TI picatinny mounts will not be compatible with the optics ready version of the rifle? I see people wanting to convert their rifle from optics ready back into regular configuration, I doubt I will want to, I much prefer optics to irons but would it make more sense to opt for the regular version if the picatinny rail comes with the necessary parts? In order to have the parts for both configs? Or is that just making things harder on myself for no reason if I am quite sure I will want an optic on the rifle?
Just because TI has been doing it wrong (edit: they haven't been doing it wrong) doesn't make you right (or wrong) You can also be right while nothing he said was wrong. All the info is available on Canada Revenue Agency's website. Taxes are supposed to be charged as per the destination province, just like he said. Although it is possible firearms are exempt from GST or PST for whatever reason in BC
edit: only 5% gst would be applied to an online firearm sale from anywhere in Canada if destined for BC. But if buying a firearm with the destinations reversed (originating in BC and sent to Ontario), the tax would be 13%

They all do it and it's legal.
Out of province business have no requirement to register with the BC government for PST.

What are you all crying about in here lol wow. Should just lock this thread already haha
Check with CRA or your CA.
Of course the province of BC would love to get their sticky fingers on all of that PST.
You sound as if you have a business who is charging PST when you don't really have to??
Trust me, Tenda, TI and SFRC are very big businesses. Do you question that their CA's know less than you my highness? And sign off on it???

What day / time is the restock? I was also looking at the replacement parts kit and most of it seems like it wouldn't need replacing other than a firing pin. The firing pin looks like an AK firing pin. What do you guys think
One thing is for sure, you have a serious attitude problem
I won't bother naming names, but other very big vendors on this site are still calculating and charging out of province taxes incorrectly to this day
Again, judging what is legal based on what other people are doing is the least intelligent approach to any issue.
I haven't argued one way or the other, so trying to claim I am doing one thing or the other is silly and demonstrative of the flawed logic you follow which is all I was pointing out in the first place.
It can be true (and it is) that online sales in BC from out of province vendors get charged at 5% while the CRA states that online sales are to be taxed at the destination province's tax rate. It just shows how pointlessly convoluted our tax laws are. Getting feisty with people online does nothing to fix or change that
As per the Canada Revenue Agency:
GST, HST or PST?
CRA's Place of Supply rules determine which tax a business should collect.
The easiest way to determine the rate of tax to charge is to look at the province or territory in which the product is supplied to the customer. If a product was bought in your business, the customer pays your jurisdiction’s sales taxes. If a customer asks you to deliver products to a different province or territory, you charge the taxes of the jurisdiction where the product ends up.

Which vendors?
And what the BC province says has no meaning to vendors outside as long as they are not registered for PST and have no legal entity in BC.
Hey dude, that discussion is over 10 years old. Maybe you missed it?

That kind of info isn’t provided, they did mention likely 3rd or 4rth so your best bet is to check back each morning, the last batch took a good solid 24 hours to sell out so you’ve got a window. There’s also the 3rd and 4rth batches coming, eventually these will be like the LMG and you won’t be able to give them away.
As for the firing pin, I believe it’s been made very clear that the reason we can even have these is there’s no shared parts with the AK, so you’d be better off just buying the parts kit if you’re worried about it, $100 is cheap piece of mind.

I think the LMG sales are down because people want the regular version, it'll be a while until there are enough around to lower the price. And if you look at pictures of both firing pins they are identical

Read this.
Not specifically targeting sales in BC - I am very certain that most sales are being made in Ontario, yes the BC gov would love to they hands on those taxes.
Not really a secret, I order a lot online and most vendors are in Ontario, no PST, be it car parts or health products.
LMG prices will go up once they are sold out.
