Tax charges on parts from another province

[vrscr43]

Trying to order a sled part from Newfoundland.
They want to charge me 15 % tax.
Would I not pay 5% as I live in Alberta?

I think that’s right, you should only pay 5%.

I dunno - I worked for a nova Scotia company and got taxed like 55% - I paid 45 grand in taxes in 46 days made me wanna f*cking puke

When you travel to other provinces and buy something, do you tell them you live in Alberta and you're only paying 5%?

Pretty sure you pay the tax of the province you are purchasing in

That is different than if something is shipped or delivered by an employee.

Where was your primary residence? That’s where you pay income taxes. When you hired on they should of gave you Alberta or BC tax forms to fill out, I’m not exactly sure where you live.
You would of got it back at tax time anyway.

Ya I'll get some of it back at tax time - live in AB - sucks waiting till spring for it - could use it for the winter for sledding

It depends, e-commerce you pay the tax for where you live. If it's a dealership and you ordered it over the phone then you pay local tax rate.

Nope. Purchased a truck in Saskatchewan. Only paid Alberta PST. Also when order online, should automatically change, when you put Alberta address, postal code.

When I purchase stuff from Fort Nine and other vendors its always 5%.
The vendor is going to look into it tomorrow.

if you get charged another provinces tax rate you can go down to the government offices and fill out a form and you will get your money back, except for GST 5 %, easy peasy, just that easy.

Yes, it's pretty straightforward "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."

Living in Lloyd if we drive to Battleford to pick up parts we pay pst. If it's shipped or delivered, no pst

The vendor is working on fixing his software.
It is supposed to pick the tax rate based on which province you enter for shipping.
