Trips to Canada will become a little more expensive: The Canadian government has abolished a tax refund for non-residents.

Visitors has been able to claim a refund of the 6 percent GST, a federal tax on lodging and other goods and services. For tourists, the most significant benefit was being able to get a refund of the GST on hotel bills.

The Canadian government abolished the GST refund (formally called the Visitor Rebate Program) for individual travelers this month as part of 2007 budget cuts.
