Recently there have been changes in the Canadian sales tax programs but the VRP was overlooked, and it may now be eliminated. The VRP allows visitors to Canada to get a rebate for half, that is 7%, of the 14% tax on their costs of travel to Canada. If the VRP were to be eliminated, this would essentially reflect a price increase of $258.65 USD on top of the cost of a week’s trip to our lodges. Therefore, I would like to invite readers to visit the URL http://www.petitiononline.com/vrp1/ and to sign a petition addressed to the Hon. James Flaherty, Minister of Finance, to help save the Visitor Rebate Program, or at least replace it with a new model. You are required only to give your name, location, and email address —you have the right to keep your email address private. Please help us save our VRP.
