Federally, you've been hit with 7% GST. That gets refunded from the folks in Ottawa. The remainder is from the province you purchased it in and varies in percentage*. Most provinces charge around 8%. That totals the 15% you were quoted. You have to get special forms for the rebates and save your sales receipts.
