Full text
7. Every person who carries on business or ordinarily resides in Québec and who brings or causes to be brought into Québec any movable property for use or consumption by himself or by another person at his expense or who purchases a movable property situated in Québec at a retail sale made outside Québec shall, on the date that the use or consumption of that property begins in Québec, pay a tax to the Minister at the rate provided in section 6 on the value of the property, except if such tax has been collected by the retailer.
For the purposes of this section, the value of property means,
(a)  in the case of property produced by a person in Canada outside Québec and brought into Québec within 12 months of its production, the production cost of the property, including the tax paid or payable by that person under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter E-15) in respect of the elements of that production cost, determined without reference to the input tax credit provided for in that Part;
(b)  in the case of property acquired at a sale outside Québec and used or consumed in Québec within 12 months of that sale, the purchase price of the property;
(c)  notwithstanding subparagraph b, in the case of property leased outside Québec, the portion of the rent that may reasonably be ascribed to the right of enjoyment of the property in Québec, including the tax paid or payable by the person under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act in respect of that portion of the rent, determined without reference to the input tax credit provided for in that Part;
(d)  in other cases, the market value of the property, including the amount equal to the tax that would be paid or payable by the person under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act in respect of that property if it was acquired by him on that date for consideration equal to the market value of the property, determined without reference to the input tax credit provided for in that Part in respect of that property.
