７月１日，BC省实行HST以后，华盛顿州将对BC居民免税。出示证件，表明自己住在BC，就不用交销售税了，可以省下近１０％的销售税。

这样的话，去美国购物就有了更大的优势。那么南surrey的房价有看涨的趋势。（本人不住在南surrey ，在那里也没有房产）

VANCOUVER—The imminent switch to the harmonized sales tax in British Columbia and Ontario will mean residents of those provinces won’t have to pay sales tax on some goods purchased in Washington state. The state government says B.C. and Ontario residents will be eligible for a tax exemption on goods purchased for use outside the state, excluding lodging, meals and other services, after they adopt the HST on July 1. Washington allows retailers to wave the state’s 6.5 per cent sales tax for residents of jurisdictions with sales taxes of three per cent or less. When B.C. and Ontario blend their provincial sales taxes with the federal GST, the state will consider their sales taxes to be zero because the HST is considered a value-added tax. Washington offers similar exemptions to residents of provinces that already have the HST, such as Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador. Retailers aren’t required to apply the tax exemption, but the news release says most do if a customer has proof of where they live, such as a driver’s licence.

牵强

为了省几块钱，买个偏远房子，每过关2-3小时，上班2小时，脑子有问题？

何况那里这几年升得够猛，该猛跌的时候了

白石镇算偏远吗？如果你去过多伦多（北美第４大都市），你就知道什么是偏远了？

过关１０分钟就够了，你６点下班，顺便去美国买点东西，一会儿就回来了。根本不用等到周末去排长队。

如果你全家都喜欢坐公车，那里就不适合你。

白石镇好像工薪一族不多吧。很多退休，或者留守女士带小孩无须工作的人居多。平时买菜也不用交HST，吃饭也不会因为HST的关系而去美国。也只有买服装，加油之类占到美国的便宜。

[讲出你的心声]

好像只有买些大件才上算，可要在境外呆上48小时的,外边住宿也要花钱的。敢问普通家庭每年就算$15k的消费（涉及到10%），也就是$1.5k的税可以省下了？就为了这个买那个地方的房子不太上算吧？

正解。所以说楼主的说法太牵强了。
