Subject: Re: Sales tax refund for visitors to Canada to be scrapped Posted on: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 12:32:24 -0400

With the exception of a very few number of excise taxes, the U.S. does not
charge any taxes on sales of goods and services.

Such sales taxes are charged by individual states, each of which make their
own decisions on refundability (just as each Canadian province makes
decisions on the refundability of provincial taxes).
