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%

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.
