I'm from Canada, recently ordered an item from a UK retailer and it’s already been delivered. I’ve just received an email from the business asking me to pay VAT separately. I’ve heard of import duty bills arriving after delivery for overseas purchases, but not for items bought within the UK. I assumed the checkout price included all taxes. Am I required to pay this VAT now?
UK Retailer Asking for VAT After Delivery — Do I Have to Pay?

Are they asking you about the VAT or the GST HST ?
If it was delivered to Canada , and they’ve registered for the GST HST as a foreign supplier it’s known as the place of supply
Example in Ontario it’s HST @ 13% due , Alberta 5% due
Did they provide a nine digit business number ? RT ?
On the flip side the HST should of been included in the total price , itemized
If it’s import duties into Canada , thru a RM # that’s thru the CBSA
If it’s the VAT, have no clue
Don't bother, you got the item. What's the worst they can do? It even might be a scam
