Is LV in Canada cheaper than in USA?

[AmyS]

Hi. Im going to Canada and I wanna know if the LV there is cheaper. I think the amount of sales tax here is ridiculous and if I can get it cheaper in Canada I will.

 

[blackbutterfly]

Where are you going in Canada? It might be cheaper if you are coming to Alberta. Our sales tax is only 7% here. It will be dropping to 6% in July. Everywhere else is at least 14%.

I am pretty sure you can get the taxes back when you are leaving the country.

Manitoba is 14% total tax. BUT....if you're coming back into Canada you can get your 7% GST back.

with the exchange rate (US - Canadian) being so low right now it's not worth it to buy it in Canada.

i just came back from Vancouver. i was told about the tax refund. each receipt has to be at least $50. total refund submission needs to be at least $500 spending. i had paid some Canadian taxes, but i'm still not able to get any tax refund.

alberta is 7%, but after June 1 it will be 6%! Go PM! hahaha

as far as I know, alberta is the only province with no PST.
