New Visitor Tax law I crossed the border last night with two visitors from Taiwan, after an entire day shopping at the outlet, we had about $1150 dollars in total. One of the CBSA agent she told us there is a new law, they will charge visitor for taxes now, and when I ask about returning taxes at the airport, we could not do that anymore either. Is this true? I feel like I've been treated like a fool. |

Thanks for your help. I guess everyone seems to take this pretty well. I find it ridiculous to ask someone to pay taxes for items that are not bought or used in Canada. Such friendly country we got here. |
I find it rediculous to pay for things period. For example, if I buy a labtop, or maybe fast pasts, I think they should all be free. |

I agree, I don't wanna pay for anything anymore either! good for nothing taxes. :fullofwin: |
I'll try and add some valid info to this thread in case someone happens upon it looking for answers. According to CBSA's guide for Visitors to Canada and other Temporary Residents: Quote:

C'mon I was referring to the visitors. As a Canadian I am used to paying taxes, our tax expenses are part of our lives. There is no question about it. |

Finally something useful. |
It would all be just much easier if they put tax into the price instead of adding it after. Much like they do in the UK and the rest of Europe. |
i'd rather pay double taxes. it's not like we need money anyways. |

VAT system would make consumers lives easier. What you see is what you pay. |
So you took foreigners who were visiting Canada, down the the US to spend there money outside the country they are visiting then don't like the fact that they were taxed upon returning to Canada. The simple solution to all of this is to tell your friends to spend there money in there own country. |
