If I am a visitor from outside of Canada is GST refundable on my accomodation?
Yes, GST is refundable only in very specific situations. For hotels, your GST charged is refundable if your hotel stay is less than a month, and your total cost is greater than $200. You must claim this within a year of short term accommodation stay. Please see the Government of Canada’s Tax Refund for Business Travel to Canada guide for more details.
