Am I eligible for an RST refund on designated property?

You are eligible for a refund if you paid RST on designated property (motor, snow and all-terrain vehicles, boats and aircraft) and:

  • you permanently remove the designated property from PEI within 30 days of purchase, and you provide proof of tax paid to another province or territory; or
  • you are a commercial fisher who purchased a boat for commercial use only; or
  • you have paid RST in error or have an overpaid amount. You must apply within four years of the date the overpayment was made.

How do I apply for a refund?

Fill out a Request for Refund of Retail Sales Tax (RST) form and send it to Taxation and Property Records Division.

Is there a deadline to apply?

You must apply for a refund within 30 days of purchasing the designated property and then removing it from PEI.
