I will be spending a few days in Canada and the USA.
Need some general info on the taxes payable in the 2 countries.

Specific areas of travel are Ontario, Nova Scotia, Pennsylvania, New
York City, Virginia, Washington.

In the United States, every state is different. Where hotels and rental
cars are concerned, every city is different. If you do a web search
for specific states, or just ask at the hotel before you make a room
reservation, you can get information about local taxes that way.
