I live in Ontario and can get up to 13 grand in an event rebate. I believe the tax you pay is on the full price though. So when using the websites to figure out car costs, should I ignore the rebate, get my total cost after tax, THEN apply the rebate and then figure out my monthly payments ?

Some of the websites roll the rebate in for you, like Nissan. When I leased my 2017 Leaf, they included everything so I never needed to worry about it. Otherwise, what I did when I was comparing vehicles on the car builders was to put the rebate in as a down payment minus the hst. So $14K goes in as $12,389.
Nissan changes the rebate amount based on if you're showing the taxes in the quite or not. So I wonder if they have special calculation in their site for the rebate, or if I could use another site that allows me to show pricing with taxes, and apply the full rebate as part of the down payment? Or if as you say, I stick with the "less hst*" amount no matter what. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Never trust the sites. Do the math yourself. Some dealers will give you the rebate, others have you apply to the government. At $13 a pop I understand why a dealer would not want to wait for a check from the government.
