Buying car from Alberta
I'm considering purchasing a vehicle from a DEALER in Alberta, and having it shipped to Ontario (it is a rare vehicle at a decent price).
I am curious how the tax/registration would work? The dealer in AB states that they would charge 5% HST. I understand that I would then show my invoice at ServiceOntario with the 5% HST, and would only be charged 8% here? I just want to ensure that I'm not paying the 5% twice.
Additionally, is it possible to get a temporary license plate for an out-of-province vehicle so that I can get it to my mechanic to get the safety done? I'm just thinking it may give me more flexibility than having it dropped off right at a shop.
Anyone else ever done this before?
