It's not just the Americans that pay the G.S.T. in Canada. I pay it every day, on everything I buy. And I've never gotten a refund! The tax for G.S.T. is 5%. It was 7% but it has been lowered. Maybe you could tell me where I could apply to get a refund for the taxes I pay on my US hunts?

The issue with teh refund is based on 2 factors. 1 is that this tax is the provide services toCAN residents that I think are actually a huge benefit over what we have to pay in the US. Since we do not use the services, we should be able to getthe refund - and it is only for large purchases. Second issue is that this brings foreigners back and hopefully to spend more money as the boost to the economy is not the tax butthe goods that are purchased from the country.
All in all the refund was a good thing for CAN and US and removing it was ahuge debate and it maybe reinstated- no refund incentiveand weak dollar is hurting the CAN economy.

Nord is right on with his analisys. But the deal is when revenue is down, government, no matter which side of the border, is going to get it where it can. They must figure that since we can afford to travel up to hunt caribou then we should be able to afford the tax. Whether we agree or not isn't relevant to them. Hopefully it may go back the other way when time get better but don't hold your breath.

I just know that between the gas prices, the drop in the exchange rate, and the ending of the GST rebate, our annual fishing trip to Northern Ontario has doubled in cost in just the last 5 years. We already reserved for this June but it's almost unanimous that this will be our last year
The 09 Bou trip is fizzling fast as well
