Hi Wes, You wrote (in regards to purchasing a kayak in Canada): "The other complication is sales tax. A combination of provincial and federal sales taxes comes to 15% of the value of the purchase. However, when you cross the border, you can pick up a form that's submitted to the Canadian government to refund the sales tax." You'd better check to see if it's all the sales tax that can be refunded or just the GST, i.e., the federal tax. I believe it's this 7% federal portion that is refundable, but I could be wrong.
