no, the US does not have a VAT, so no VAT refund like in the EU. State sales taxes do not get refunded.

If you go to their customer service desk and show them the passport to off set the sales tax. But this does not happen at most stores. Ahh makes sense in a way, saying that i would prefere to pay 8.5% than 20% Canon 400D, Canon 17-85 IS USM, Canon 50mm f/1.8, Sigma 100-300 F/4 DG EX, Sigma 150mm F2.8 MACRO EX, Jessops Extention Tubes, Jessops X2 Tele.

I believe I saw in another thread someone was reasoning a rebate on a 5D MkII used with CLP and the resulting price 7D | Gripped XSi | Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 OS | Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 | 50mm f/1.8 II | 70-210mm f/3.5-4.5 USM | Speedlite 420ex

More info | Feb 09, 2011 17:34 | #36 it depends on the state, if canon has a nexus point in that state and that state charges sales tax. You will have to pay the sales tax. The sales tax is confusing for allot of visitors. The state of Delaware for example has no sales tax. So what the price is it the price. Traveling is my passion, so I am a major Frequent Flyer.

There might be a discount on refurbs, but more than likely the discount will only apply to NEW bodies. If there is a discount on refurbs, it definitely won't be the full $100-$200. Even then, CLP is a flat 80% of the current refurb prices through canon.

Called last week and got a price of $1088 from them. I am waiting for my tax refund to come back to upgrade, so it will likely be a week or so before I get it back. I guess in the mean time I can look for an old powershot to send in rather than disabling my old SD200 in order to send it in 7D | Gripped XSi | Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 OS | Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 | 50mm f/1.8 II | 70-210mm f/3.5-4.5 USM | Speedlite 420ex

Even if I got $50 off, that would take care of the taxes and bring it back down to around the same price...
