Taxes
Two sales taxes apply to most
goods and services purchased in the Province of Québec: the federal GST of 6%
plus the provincial tax TVQ at 7.5%, calculated on the total after GST. On
certain items, including hotel rooms and goods being brought out of the
country, visitors may be eligible to reclaim the GST. More information is
available in the brochure "Tax Refund for Visitors to Canada" from Revenue
Canada, available at Canadian airports, border crossings and hotels, or on
their web site
Canada
Revenue Agency. Speciality service points in downtown shopping centres
also offer tax refund options.
