I got a letter in the mail today from Min of Finance. Asking for sales tax on a boat I bought in 2012. They came up with an amount of $1500 due (based on sales prices of similar boats!) within 30 days or interest will accumulate etc. A bit comical as boat purchase price was $2800. I did the insurance back when I bought the boat, but can't remember if I had to pay tax on purchase price!?? I also have done the boat registration thing at the government office, and again I can't remember if I had to pay any tax on that. I don't mind paying the $386 in tax, but not if I have already paid it and sure as hell not the $1500. The only bill of sale I have ( they have asked for bill of sale when I submit this form and payment) is a handwritten one from the original owner at time of sale. Any one else been through this lately and can offer any advice?
Thanks,
Alan
