Answer 1

Depends where you buy something.

In Ontario the taxes are 15% on the dollar.

Seems like a rip but if you live there it is well worth it.

Answer 2

It ranges from 5% (Alberta, no PST) to 13% (the Maritimes, Ontario, and Quebec).

Answer 3

Gst is 5% and Pst is 8% in Ontario.  Some things (groceries, etc.) only have one applicable tax, I believe we still pay PST on these items, but not GST.  

GST recently dropped from 7 to 5%.

Answer 4

Depends one where it is bought, where it is sold, and what item it is.

Some states or counties or provinces have a different mill rate than others, some do not tax food to be cooked but do tax prepared food.

Figure 7%-25%

17 on  15 is about correct for most places.
