Red buyers in Ontario take note and save 8% tax

[Sean]

Exemption: Ontario Retail Sales tax (ORST, also called PST - Provincial Sales Tax) at the rate of 8% applies to the purchase of most goods and taxable services. Producers of movies and commercials, as well as TV stations who meet the definition of a manufacturer under the Ontario Retail Sales Tax Act qualify for exemption from ORST (PST) on the purchase of the following items used in conjunction with the production of movies and commercials: camera and lighting equipment...

And for those who may not know

I think as long as you are an independent owner Operator or company the exemption applies.

"Video and camera equipment are duty free, in fact most things manufactured in the US are duty free. When having a RED Camera system shipped, make sure the tariff code (9002.11.10) is placed on the box(s) This will help customs to identify the contents of the box is camera equipment and hopefully it will be released sooner than later.

The problem is that the camera is manufactured in Singapore not in the USA according to the photo in the following post... :

Therefore it wouldn't be US tariffs that would apply.
