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.
