Exporters FAQ’s:

1. What is the process for a foreign buyer to get their tax back from the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) for the 5% or 13% tax after purchasing a vehicle from us?
   A foreign buyer can apply for a GST/HST rebate for each vehicle purchased and/or for vehicles purchased in bulk during a specific period (e.g. claiming and including the purchases for a given month, etc.).
2. What is the cut-off time for a buyer to submit a GST/HST claim after a vehicle transaction?
   A foreign buyer usually has up to 4 years from the transaction date to claim a GST/HST rebate. Download the CRA general GST/HST rebate form.
3. How long does it take a GST/HST claim to come in?
   First-time buyers typically receive their first GST rebate cheque after 3 months. After a first claim, buyers should receive their claims 1-2 months going forward. Please note: It is essential to provide all supporting documentation (invoices, proof of payment, proof of export, etc.) to avoid delays.
4. How can I file for ITCs instead of submitting rebates?
   If a buyer is located in Canada and/or has a location in Canada, they can register for GST.
5. What are Planet MOTORS’ rules around tax exemption letters?
   We do not typically accept tax exemption letters.
