Over top of the price what did it cost to bring it across

[Jim Eh.]

8% PST  (of the Canadian $ equivilant of the purchase price based on that days exchange rate)
No GST

BTW any repairs along the way are added to the value of the bus and you are taxed on the combined rate.

Hopefully there will be no repairs along the way , but i will go ready for the unexpected i'm taking the bus up to Northwest Territories no PST here so does that mean no cost to cross the border ?

Tax laws have changed in recent years but remember you are dealing with the Feds not Provincial authorities so I would think they would consider your base location. A simple phone call to your port of entry would be all that is needed to find out.

 We used a broker to get our bus.  First time for us so thought safer a spend a few dollars.  In the end there was a bit of a screw up and we had to pay the tax at the boarder but broker had already paid it and refunded us no problem. I find it easier to never ? the man with the gun on the street(cops) or at the boarder .LOL
When it came to inspections we did fed and provincial.  Prov. was 200$ but we did have to replace air bag and a few worn air lines on top of that. All in all happy up till this point. Then took it in for the riv part which ICBC (insurance )said we must have to get bus legally transferred to us .Guy at Canadian Tire which does all riv s as I'm told Takes a look at vin plate and says why are you here ,you don't need a riv for this year.
So we asked what was needed to get bus taken out of bus status (commercial )higher rate ,told remove seats cover holes new scale weight. Go to get permit to move bus to do this and now told cant do that and to get to motor home we need bed kitchen and bathroom and separate heat  and water systems.
Buddy of mine has a 40ft. schooly as a truck insured for 100$ a month. For us now it would be as a 47 passenger commercial bus .
