=== Do I have to pay taxes on purchases? === | |||
In Canada, all goods and services are subject to a 5% federal Goods and Services Tax (called GST) which is charged at point of sale. In British Columbia, there is an additional provincial sales tax (PST): | |||
* goods and services except for food and medicine at 7% | |||
* alcohol at 10% | |||
Non residents can collect their receipts and submit a claim at the airport when leaving the country to be compensated for the GST and PST collected during their stay. Look for "Tax-Free" signs and brochures. | |||
=== Are there really bears? === | === Are there really bears? === | ||
Yes. Black bears are common to British Columbia, and live in the nearby woods. Some have become used to foraging into town for food. If hiking nearby, you should make sure that all food is well wrapped. If you see a bear, it's likely not going to be interested in you, so ''don't panic''. Usually if you make a lot of noise it will go away. | Yes. Black bears are common to British Columbia, and live in the nearby woods. Some have become used to foraging into town for food.
