Here in BC, there is a 12% PST on boats, unless purchased from a GST registrant (dealer), in which case it is 7% PST. Paying GST at the border will qualify you for the lower 7% rate, see below. In any case, it seems doubtful that there would be any concession for re-patriating a boat to BC based on these ridiculous tax laws. About the only way to reduce tax that I've ready about is to list items not normally attached to the boat separately, with item values, on a bill of sale. This means dinghy, outboard, BBQ, etc.
From: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/taxes/sales-taxes/publications/pst-108-boats.pdf "If you bring a boat into BC from outside Canada, you must pay PST at the rate of 7% on the taxable value of the boat. The taxable value is the value of the boat as determined under the Excise Tax Act (Canada). The Canada Border Services Agency may collect the PST due when you bring the boat into Canada. If not, you must self-assess the PST due (see Paying PST below)."
