Taxes in Canada and USA
Many thanks to one and all.
The info has been most useful. Guess if one is a millionaire, it will pay to bring along a tax consultant! |

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. Taxes related to hotels, food and transport cannot be avoided. If you are going to spend money on clothing,gifts and entertainment, where would you get the best value for money in terms of overall price to be paid? Taxes vary from state to state, province to province. Here in Ontario there is a 7% GST (federal goods and service) tax and 8% provincial sales tax. Clothing, shoes and many other goods usually are the same price here as they are in the US, so when you factor in exchange rates they are much cheaper here. |

In the U.S. Sales taxes vary, not only by state but by locality also.
In Virginia State taxes are 4.5 % (4% for many food items). There are some localities that have additional taxes on restaurant meals and such. DC is 5.75% Hope this helps.
