I know that, if a Canadian citizen/resident stays in USA for more than 7 days, then when he returns to Canada by car, he qualifies for a personal duty & tax exemption of $750 CAD. My question is that, does that amount include tax charged in USA?? I mean, suppose I buy something at around $710, but after the USA state tax, the total is $760. Is that eligible for the exemption?
Also, if I had to pay tax, would that tax on the total amount ($760) or the excess amount ($760 - $750 = $10)?
Thank you.
