out of province sales taxation practices?

Ansonintoronto's post is incorrect, as not all provinces have HST and taxation rates are different for various province. British Columbia repealed HST a couple of years ago, and Alberta doesn't have sales tax at all, only GST.
You have asked about Ontario to BC. Unfortunately, BC will hit you for 12% PST (yes it's 12% on importing a car from another province) when you go to register the car with ICBC.
Any PST you pay in Ontario should be refunded once you file the appropriate paperwork.

AFAIK, I've heard that this goes two ways...But most often, when buying from a dealership;
1. Pay both taxes in Ontario where you buy the car.
2. Pay both taxes in BC when registering the car.
3. Apply for tax refund from Ontario with proof that the car is registered in BC.

The bad news is, as I said, that the B.C. tax is 12%.

You guys are all making the discussion more complicated than it has to be.
PAY the HST wherever you purchase the car.....you do not "gain nor lose money" on where the tax is collected......once you register the car IN THE PROVINCE, the ministry will review what taxes have been or has not been paid.
Simple....end of discussion.....this is not rocket science.

Typically a dealer selling outside the province is only supposed to collect the GST... not the PST....
If you pay the PST then you are getting screwed because you will have to pay PST again in the other province you are registering... Ministry dosnt care if you already paid PST elsewhere... they will want their PST too...

That's only true if the dealer is shipping the vehicle. I'm a dealer and if I sell a vehicle to another province I'm still supposed to charge the Manitoba provincial tax if the vehicle is picked up in Manitoba. If the vehicle is shipped to another province by a common carrier, I don't have to charge provincial tax. If I am shipping to a HST province I collect the HST at the rate of the province that it is getting shipped to.
If car is sold outside of state, no tax is collected but the car has to leave on a carrier.

As an out of province resident, you can apply for a refund.

Regarding insurance...
if you already have another car insured, then you are probably covered on any new car that you buy for something like 14 days from the date you sign it into your name. The insurance company doesnt tell you that, but if you ask them they will likely confirm. They would rather start getting your money for the new car immediately, so they keep it quiet.
When you go to register the car, you just need to provide your current policy number.
I always inform the insurance company anyway, as soon as I buy the car, just to be on the safe side. But apparently you don't have to.

I bought a used car on a Friday and didn't call my insurance company. Saturday my wife goes for a ride and guess what!!!?
When I called the insurance company on Monday they told me I was f###ed because I didn't call. I laughed at them and said have your supervisor or whoever call me.
They honoured the claim.

We are discussing Importing a car from another province.
PST on cars imported to BC from other provinces is 12% of value, effective March 2013.
This applies if the car is purchased in a private sale from a non-GST registrant.
Rules are different when buying a new or used car in-province.

Recently purchased a car from a dealership in Ontario and had it shipped to Vancouver.
I got them to charge me GST at 5% and provide a GST/HST number on then bill of sale. Then I paid my PST at the AutoPlan agent when I registered the car. This was possible because I was not taking possession of the vehicle in Ontario.
ICBC told me that, had I paid full Ontario taxes, I could apply to get the none-applicable portion back from the federal government. But still would have had to pay PST in BC.
