awww shucks. Thanks

You too. Hate to be so nasty..but I suggest you research the issue...like maybe by calling the PST and GST offices. Then you can post and tell me that you were wrong and I am right. It's not as if I don't know that you can find the answer,,,and it will be what I have stated.

So tell me are you always this tactful.

You need to do some tax comparison sums.

You do them for me please. My heads a bit fuzzy this morning

Mine will be - I am just headed to bed (GMT -8). Seriously, there are taxes on taxes here. Two levels of income tax, plus PST and GST (VAT), stealth taxes and and "administration" charges for, well, breathing these days.

lol. just reacted negatively to what was being implied...unfairly implied. It also doesn't help that the other poster is so wrong that it is laughable. But I should have used a tad more tact.

A tad, I would say that is the understatement of the week.

Well, let's just say that his post struck me as being the buildup to another attack against someone in my line of work. I am fully aware that the business is filled with some undesirable characters, but I'm not one of them and do not want to be included in that tarring. And the post did specifically ask "when was the last time that YOU..." so it was not directed in a general manner, but pin pointed at me.

hi, just thought i would send my apologies to anyone that got a mouthful on here about my thread...i thought i was asking a perfectly logical and helpful question to others and myself..didnt mean it to get into a slanging match. its a sad world we live in when you ask a simple question and it ends up a who can bitch the most at who match. hope it did help someone.

No.

However, if you're leasing a vehicle and move from AB to another province you do have to pay the Provincial tax.

If someone buys a car in Alberta I would think that, in order to get an ownership or title they will have to prove they paid any applicable sales tax. I don;t know if there is sales tax in Alberta or how they deal with private sales as regards sales tax. If there is a sales tax and a purchase is made at a dealer, it will be collected then, along with GST. If you are, for example, bringing a vehicle to Ontario that is registered and plated in Alberta, you can change it to Ontario registration without any tax being charged. If you bring an unregistered or unplated vehicle, be prepared to be charged sales tax. Can't speak for other Provinces.

No apology required. I got my feathers up...not your fault.

If you live in another province and come to Alberta to purchase a vehicle you will be charged PST when you register that vehicle in your home province.

If you live in Alberta and own vehicles and are then transferred or you move to another province you are not charged PST when you register those vehicles in your new province of residence.

Yep, read the question wrong.
