4. Canadian Goods & Services Tax (GST)

All prices are subject to GST, which will be charged upon confirmation of booking. Currently the rate is 5% for Canadian GST. Guests who are not residents of Canada are eligible for a rebate of the GST paid on short-term accommodation. If they are purchasing their rail tour from outside Canada, Rocky Mountaineer Vacations may claim the rebate on their behalf. The result is a 50% reduction in the tax rate, and 2.5% is then used to calculate the GST to be charged. When non-resident guests purchase their rail tour while in Canada, Rocky Mountaineer Vacations charges GST at the full 5% rate. Any GST rebate that a visitor to Canada may be entitled must be claimed from the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency by the guest. This short-term accommodation rebate is subject to change without notice.
