(2) any provincial levy that is payable by the recipient, or payable or collectible by the supplier, in respect of that supply or in respect of the consumption or use of the property or service, other than tax payable under this Title and the prescribed duties, fees or taxes payable by the recipient;
(3) any other amount that is collectible by the supplier under an Act of the Legislature of Québec, another province, the Northwest Territories, the Yukon Territory or Nunavut that is equal to, or is collectible on account of or in lieu of, a provincial levy, except where the amount is payable by the recipient and the provincial levy is a prescribed duty, fee or tax.
If, under Title I, a person is deemed to be the recipient of a supply in respect of which another person would, but for that deeming, be the recipient, a reference in this section to the recipient of the supply shall be read as a reference to that other person.
