: 還有 好像可以退到信用卡的帳戶去 我們那個時候是這樣
: 但是也是隔了差不多半年才拿到那筆錢
真的嗎?
可是我在官方網站上看到的卻說無法退到信用卡帳戶耶

Direct deposit

You are from another country
and the service charges to cash a foreign cheque are very high.
Will the CRA send me a money order or a cheque in the currency of your choice,
or directly deposit the cheque to your VISA or bank account?

Answer
At this time,
the only method of payment through the Visitor Rebate Program is by cheque.
The refund cannot be deposited to bank or credit card accounts.


: 最最最後 想到一件事情 是不是旅遊觀光方面也不能退稅？
: 像我們後來有參加當地旅行社的落磯山脈之旅
: 那單筆消費也超過50 不過印象中不能退
如果付給旅行社的錢有含住宿的話 應該就可以退50%的GST
如果旅行社明細列出其中住宿費是多少錢 稅付了多少 就可以退實際上付的金額

Tour packages

You bought a tour package to visit Canada.
Can you claim the GST/HST that you paid?

Answer
You can claim 50% of the GST/HST that you paid.
The reason you can only claim 50% is that
a tour package is usually made up of an accommodation part,
as well as several other ineligible parts
(e.g., transportation, admissions, entertainment).
We recognize the fact that tax has been paid in part on accommodation.
So we refund 50% of the tax
rather than ask for a breakdown on the cost of the accommodation.


Tour packages (hunting and fishing trips)

You went on a hunting trip to Canada. Are you eligible for a refund?

Answer
The rules that apply to a tour package
also apply to a hunting or fishing trip (50%).
Sometimes, however, the outfitter will show a cost breakdown.
If this is the case,
you will be able to claim the exact amount of applicable tax
paid on the accommodation vs. 50% of the tax paid on the total package.
