I guess HST will be paid once you go to MTO to transfer the title to your own name?

I'm still a little confused about that. At the border I payed about $1,000 and it said it was for GTS/HST but $1,000 is too cheap considering the price of the car.

I am going to finish up the import process today or tomorrow and once I get to the minisrty to put Ontario plates on, I'll let you know if I pay anything else.

Hmm interesting! Yeah let us know for sure as a friend of mine is about to start the process of bringing in a car as well so this is very helpful info. I knew the process before, but now that the taxes have joined into one HST I am no longer sure of how this works.

Thanks!!

I think the $1000 is the 6% duty...based on conversion of your sale price to CND. You will pay the HST once you register and get your plate.

s2kobsession

exactly right.
You only pay 6% duty at the border.
You will pay the HST when you register with the MTO. 14% isnt it?

Here is what I payed at the border to clear it up

Duty $1,100
GST $1,000
Air con $100

Then when I went to the ministry

PST $1,500

So from that we can safely say they dont hit you with HST all in one shot, but instead they split it up.

HST is 13%.
And Duty is 6.1%.. Which is more than $1000 from his original purchase price (as you can see per his break down above my post).

Sweet thanks for the details! Good to know

+ $450 or so in other fees i've heard

since you need to pay the RIV fee which is almost 300, and a safety and etest

That clears it up.

Anyway, how did you get around the decal warnings and DRLs?

I believe 06+ s2000's come with factory DRL's.
