Yup! Just the same as a car or house. Anything that needs to be registered for that matter.
They don't know how much you paid for the boat... I'll leave that up to you.

Did you license your boat with Service Canada ?
that move seems to be the determining factor as to whether
or not a tax bill is pending.
They seem to have all their bases covered.

Had same problem with both boats I imported. The feds collect the taxes (both) when you bring in the boat at the border, but the province has no way to know you already paid. Left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing. I sent them a fax copy of the paid taxes, thinking that would clear it up. Nope. They called back looking for proof I paid....lost it and told them if they wanted it twice they were more than welcome to take me to court - i wanted the opportunity to tell a judge just how stupid they were....click. Hello...are you still there? Suggest you try that approach.

That wasn't a shoe!
And not even the courtesy to give you a reach around while plowing it in!!!
I bought my last used boat a few months before the HST kicked in and did the transfer with the Feds . I had not yet received a request to pay the Prov. Sales tax (PST) but decided to go down and pay it anyway a couple of days before the HST kicked in as I did not want any issues about paying the extra HST money.
It was busy when I was paying as a lot of people were buying used boats/trying to complete sales fast and pay before the HST kicked in. I understand on some used boats you could save thousands in new taxes. Something to consider when the HST referendum comes around.

When it comes to purchases for business the HST saves you money as all 12% is an input tax`credit. The old way you could only claim 5% as a input credit and then the other 7% was just an expense. That is the good side of the HST for me the bad side is the loop hole that allows some people in business to not charge it. That is unfair.
