South of Seattle in Portland there is no sales tax.

Thank your local greedy government, as they will still get your GST/PST at the border. I know I have used it as a Alberta resident. Quite nice actually. Montana does not have a sales tax, neither does Oregon, and some others. Have a nice drive down the coast. Or Whitefish and Kalispell are good places to visit. Chilli days is a hoot. Booze is dirt cheap in Montana. Do a weekend where we head into a town we know where the store sells booze cheap, rent a cabin and drink t'il we drop. Order in some pizzas. Sober up, and go shopping. A hoot. And fill up before you go home. And enter on a dry tank. Take a look at amazon.com and amazon.ca. Another retailer into the last century with a 42% extra mark-up for Canadians. To add insult, you have to pay 42% more GST/PST.

There is no info because you MUST pay sales tax. Canada is the exception. "JudgeLynch" <NedKelly@usenetexchange.com> wrote in message news:f1nsg3pvrab2tmmheknnah08i5orrtkoot@4ax.com... : Where can one get the official info, regarding out of state residents NOT : HAVING TO PAY THE SALES TAX?

I don' t know what Canadian sales tax (if any) is: "This statutory exemption is available only to residents of states and possessions or Province of Canada other than Washington when the jurisdiction does not impose a retail sales tax of three percent or more." So if BC or other parts of Canada have a sales tax higher than 3% it doesn't apply to them
