Unless stated, prices to not include GST
or other local taxes.
GST is a "Goods and Services Tax", though most Canadian will tell you it
stands for "government sponsored theft"! But the Canadian tax man is
kind to visitors from overseas: save receipts, fill-in a form and he will
give a refund. It's all very complicated, so pick up a form and check
details when there. Most hotels will provide help.
