Hi,
For some reason, I was under the impression that I have to pay taxes and duty to import my car into canada. This price included the RIV fees as well as the GST and HST fees.
Today I contacted CBSA and they told me, as I'm landing for the first time as a permanent resident, I do not have to worry about any import or tax fees. This includes my car as well and therefore i do not have to pay any GST and HST fees.
Although this information is straight forward, but due to some confusion, i'm worried i might have some miscommunication with the CBSA officer. Therefore, I'm just trying to verify the validity of this information.
Do I really not need to pay any tax/fees to import my car into canada as I'm landing with it?
