Hi bonchance,
East of Ontario, the sales taxes are harmonized. This is a bit misleading though.
Dans le Québec, it is administered by the provincial government (like their provincial income tax) not the feds.
In the Maritimes and Newfoundland it is administered by the feds.
However in Québec and PEI the PST component is based upon the GST as well as the purchase price, ie they tax the GST :o)... some scam eh!
Ontario and west the taxes are separate, especially in Alberta where it is so separate that the PST component doesn't exist :o)
Who's on first LOL...

EDIT as I recall the territories only have GST also like Alberta..
Mostly CASH and yield.. but solar Powered in the future :O)
