Canada Taxes Paid Deductable?

We had a vacation in Canada and paid a large amount of foreign taxes on hotel and misc other items. Is this deductable on federal taxes? If so where in the forms? Thanks

None of the above are deductible taxes.

Only income taxes are subject to deduction or credit on your

1040 income tax return. However you may be able to get a refund of some of the taxes you paid on your visit. See the official information at

Note that there are also a lot of vendors who will process you refund application for a hefty fee.

No.

Just like hotel taxes in the USA aren't deductible.

Canada announced the elimination of the GST/HST Visitor Rebate Program effective for purchases made after March 31,

2007.

Cheap prescription drugs are still available though.

Moderator: But are the drugs cheaper than the co-pay on a prescription drug plan?

No - but if you in the Part D gap and don't expect to get out or you don't have Rx coverage then it is a good option. Just make sure that the Pharmacy that you use is really a Canadian one

This info is exactly what I was looking for. GST Refunds are still in effect for prior purchases made before April

1st, 2007 so I was able to send in the refund to Canada. Thanks for the info!
