The Dilemma of Taxing Online Purchases
When Canadian consumers buy goods or services from retailers located outside their province, or outside Canada, it is very difficult to collect sales taxes on these transactions. Taxes on a certain portion of such purchases in other provinces and countries therefore go uncollected.

Governments are also deprived, at first glance, of substantial revenues.
