Montreal Tourist Trap Tips by thekohser

From the official Canada Revenue Agency website:

Will non-resident consumers who purchase goods in Canada and remove them from the
country still be able to get a VRP rebate for the GST/HST they paid on the goods if the tax became payable after March 31, 2007?

No. As of April 1, 2007, non-resident consumers who purchase goods in Canada and remove them from the country cannot receive a VRP rebate for the GST/HST they paid on goods if the tax became payable after March 31, 2007.

However, there will still be no GST/HST charged when goods are shipped directly by a Canadian business to a non-resident consumer’s residence.
