Getting a Laptop purchased outside into Canada (Toronto) Value 1150 CAD will I have to pay Customs Duty?

Question

I've got a Toshiba Laptop I purchased from Saudi Arabia I'm a permanent resident of Canada and returning from a foreign trip. How much will I have to pay as customs duty? Value is 1150 CAD. Its 9 months old.

Answer 1

Yes, you will have to pay.

Answer 2

I think you can just say its my personnel belonging there is no stamp that you had taken it with you when you left .

Answer 3

Yes you will have to pay tax. My son received 2 DJ lights today and yes had to pay tax and a customs fee. I believe it was something like $116. His came from the US. I'm pretty sure you have to pay the taxes wherever it comes from though. I have had to pay tax on gifts received from England in the past.

You will probably have to pay the 13% even though it's used. That would be Around $149.50. Maybe a little more with the customs duty.

Answer 4

if you are returning with the laptop you are entitled to your 750 exemption so the value would only be on the remaining $400.  I also believe electronics are duty free so you would only be paying gst and pst...which is 13%
