Provincial sales tax varies..in British Columbia it is 7%. 10% on liquor. On top of this, is federal sales tax at 5%. It used to be 7%. On goods and services. Not on whole, unprocessed food.

However in Alberta, there is no provincial sales tax. But you are still subject to federal sales tax.

There is no federal sales tax if you buy a new home anywhere in Canada. But you do have to apply for the rebate afterwards.

We are vacationing in Portland, Oregon around Easter...so I intend to take advantage of buying some American stuff, instead of buying in Seattle. laugh
