Since the last Vancouver IETF, the province of BC has "rescinded" it's
harmonization of provincial and federal sales taxes. (I think the decision is
totally moronic, but, I don't live there).  This change does not change the
crux of my question, just the amount, and it affects the details.

My question is:
   Is ISOC doing GST (the federal VAT) processing?
   Is ISOC doing PST (the provincial tax, not value-added, last I checked...)?
   My understanding is that attendees to Berlin received a revised statement
   indicating the amount of German VAT that was included in the USD650.

   While I wasn't there, and I'm not EC, I am in Canada, and my company does
   process GST, which means that I should be able to claim the GST part back.

I don't know what the new BC PST is, but it was around 8% before.
Will the base price be 650 / 1.15, or 650/1.05 ?
