Hey,

So I bought 2 kona dew drops. One for my girlfriend and one for myself. I was charged $850 CAD each for them in Ontario. I was under the impression anything under $1000 for a bike was PST free until the new HST kicks in (july 1st) but I was charged PST on the bikes (an extra $140 I wasn't expecting!). Is this correct or should I have not been charged PST??? If I should not have been charged PST what can I reference to get this money back since its a decent amount of money!

Thanks

IIRC that is under $1000 total purchase price. Buying two $850 CDN bikes puts you over the $1000 PST ruling. I -could- be wrong on this however buying them each individually you should not be charged PST and should ask them for the PST back.

I hope that helps.




EDIT:

https://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en and check the WEEKLY FLYER area as it states under $1000 reference there. I'm trying to find the .gov reference. Remember anything .gov is goverment top level website domain so it's coming from the horse mouth as they say.

I think you're in a grey area with the purchase of both bikes on the same bill unless you can get confirmation IN WRITING from the .gov that bikes purchased under $1000 but the total of the bikes purchased exceeded $1000 due to multiple sub-$1000 bikes purchased on the same bill.

I am very interested in this as well.

I actually have them charged on two separate bills so I think I should be able to get the PST back for sure. I wasn't even thinking about the PST when I got them on separate bills either, it was because my credit card limit wasn't high enough to buy them both at once! Thanks for the info
