Aack! GST! Can I get that money back?
Yes! You can either fill out the paperwork yourself and submit it to Revenue Canada (more information on their site)... or, check out this handy link to Tax Free for Tourists and find out how to get the GST (Goods and Services Tax) refunded to you on some services and items. This company will help you through the process and submit the receipts for you, but they do take a cut of the savings for their troubles.
