对7月1日后即将施行HST的BC省和安省居民，也不全是坏消息。
据cbc报道，7月1日后，我们再去华盛顿州购物，可以不给sales tax了。大概比现在省6.5%-9.5%。
只限购买物品，不包括一些服务行业，比如餐饮等。
详见：http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british ... -tax-exemption.html
B.C. and Ontario residents will not have to pay sales tax inWashington state starting July 1, the state government announcedTuesday.
The savings would amount to as much as 9.5 per cent in some areas ofthe state, which has a basic sales tax of 6.5 per cent. Individualcounties can add their own sales taxes of up to three per cent.
Washington state law allows a sales tax exemption to residents ofjurisdictions that impose a sales tax of three per cent or less.
Residents of B.C. and Ontario previously did not qualify for theexemption but both provinces are adopting a harmonized sales tax July1, which technically eliminates provincial sales taxes.
The state's 'non-resident sales tax exemption' will apply topurchases of goods in Washington for use outside the state, the state'sDepartment of Revenue said in a news release.
"The exemption applies only to tangible personal property and doesnot apply to lodging, meals, or other retail services that are providedin the state," the release said.
Visitors from B.C. or Ontario to Washington need to show proof ofresidency, such as a driver's licence or passport, to get the exemption.
The move is expected to entice shoppers south, especially incommunities close to the U.S. Vancouver is about 30 kilometres from theborder.
People who live in Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia,which already have the HST, and Alberta and the three territories,which have no provincial or territorial sales taxes, already don't haveto pay the tax in Washington. |
