Hey guys I made a thread yesterday about buying a car in New Brunswick, I will be going thru with it and just have one more question. The place I am buying it from will have to charge me the HST. I know you can apply and get it back but can it ever get denied or its a 100% for sure thing?

I just dont want to pay the HST and cant get it back lol...

Also is this the correct form?

Have you talked to the dealer? Do they HAVE to charge it? My dealer out of BC just never charges me and only charges GST. I never have to go through the form, or any of that.

Yeah they are kinda being a prick about it. I told them I will get the insurance and registration here but they keep saying I have to pay it no matter what.. I just gave up lol

Ah well if it's a good enough deal then I guess not a huge issue. Just do the form and apply for rebate that way, just a little bit of hassle I suppose.

I’ve bought from Saskatchewan before and as soon as they knew I was not local they readied the correct form for me.

I didn’t have to do much and they didn’t charge the PST portion. HST is the combined which we pay the GST portion of course.

EDIT: the form was from the ministry of finance for Saskatchewan:

Exempt motor vehicle sales certificate for non-residents, status Indians or Indian bands.

Does New Brunswick have a similar??

The dealership is being pretty anal about it for some reason. I told them I will get the registration here in Alberta and it will not even be registered in NB. They keep saying no.. sorry I have no idea if it’s the same as SK..

Buster can you help me? I PM you but no reply..

Tag him properly so he can get a notification Buster

No idea about your question personally as I have never had to do the form.

Hi BensonTT. Sorry just got your PM.

I'm pretty sure it was the 495 form. But this was about 10 years ago, so my memory is shaky.

It’s the 495 form as I just got my HST rebate from purchasing a BMW winter wheel/tire package from Toronto. It’s a bit goofy that they set up a business number for you but the check takes about 3-4 weeks.

I wonder how much is because we're the only province that doesn't pay, bc and Sask would have more experience with it.
