No, it does not matter whose name is on the vehicle registration. If a Status Indian and a non-Indian buy a vehicle together (both names are on the purchase contract) then only 50% of the provincial sales tax is due as long as all other conditions for status Indian exemption are met. In this situation, the transaction if exempt from 100% of the GST.
