Short answer: yes.

Long answer: PST is Provincial Sales Tax which is charged on all retail sales - including used cars. It is paid when the car is plated. Some provinces (Alberta at least?) have no retail sales tax. GST is Goods & Services Tax a handy invention by the Feds to replace an old Fed import tax. It is now charged at retail for all goods & services - yes, a tax paid on labor too. And collected for the Feds by every store, company, self-employed professional, salesman in the country. If you buy a used car privately (not from a dealer & don't import) you can avoid this tax.

So, yes.
