Would appreciate anyone's insights re most recent requirements for bringing a sailboat into BC. (Have read previous posts re bringing US
boat into
Canada, but have some very specific queries here).
We (a couple of Canadian citizens/BC residents) are looking to
purchase a UK-registered 40ft sailboat and bringing her back to BC, with the intention of "snowbirding" (ie Gulf Islands in summer, south in winter).
Not being UK residents, we can't maintain the UK
registration. What would be required to do (or what is best option) to legally keep her in BC. Licence? Register?
What is
current import duty % , and what
taxes must be paid? Can any be deferred? We'd like to avoid any unnecessary expenses!
Thank you!
