It turns that they have a special arrangement where the rental outfit reports the mileage monthly along with a cheque covering a proportional share of taxes to each jurisdiction having miles run on their whole fleet. (similar to the way commercial fleets operating in several states or provinces report their mileage and submit fuel taxes monthly. In those cases it's treated as a vehicle that came in through the RIV program. This started as an offshoot of the temporary import rules which I've done in both directions for an employer that had plants on both sides of the border. But the paper burden was outrageous and I'm sure after one month's filings from a rental fleet homeland security and CBPA were crying 'uncle'. The same deal isn't offered to private citizens.
And why can't the little LLC arrange the same agreement?
His milage would be nothing to the payment.
US corporate owned vehicles are allowed in, either for ‘business puposes’ or as a rental, no ‘agreements’ needed.
The only provisio is that beyond a short term a rental attracts Canadian sales tax. No different than renting a US plated U-haul in Canada and paying Canadian tax on it.
