Sales tax on: product purchased on the internet (cross country Q) ? - GoFuckYourself.com

Do I pay sales tax when I order a product from Quebec via a Washinton (state) entity to be shipped to Alberta.

Buyer: Out of country
Merchant: Quebec
Receiver: Alberta

Normally one ordering from Quebec living in Alberta would incur the federal tax. What about when a US entity pays for it?

I'm not sure about that connection, but I know the states are trying to get the internet tax. Always kills me when they report they are being cheated out of 'X' number of millions.

We need Clio da Pirate on da case.

Right! Taxes are constructed in a way that"if" there is a chance that it is taxable, then it is... You fight later.

In your case, the goods are staying in Canada, so taxable.

As an example, tourists that buy goods in Canada pay the taxes, but can claim them back when they leave the country AND when they show the goods are alse leaving ....
