What qualifies for the refund?
There is NO REFUND of the tax paid on such items as: entertainment; meals; alcohol; tobacco products; services such as dry cleaning and hairdressing; air, train, and bus tickets; car rentals; automotive fuels; rentals of travel trailers and other recreational vehicles; cruise ship cabins; train berths; or timeshare arrangements. This is not an all-inclusive list.
In addition, any goods that you consume or leave in Canada do not qualify for this refund.
Eligible goods
You can claim a refund of the GST/HST paid on most goods you take home with you. Goods generally qualify for a refund if you meet the following conditions:
* you paid GST/HST on the goods;
* you bought the goods to use primarily outside Canada; and
* you removed the goods from Canada within 60 days of delivery to you (see the section entitled "Proof of export and stamping of your receipts").

Now, if a province wish to make a promo and " reimburse " the GST to the consumer ...
Just like stores run these " We pay the GST/PST " ( Note that they are not allowed to say/write " No GST/PST " )
