As far as I'm aware, books are only charged 7% GST -- as of a couple of months ago, that was still true. And I've received no notice to the contrary (as a GST registrant, I get mailings from CCRA). There are also some "basic" grocery items and such that are exempt entirely (0%). So, no, not everything is charged the full GST rate. -- Michael -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
