The tax is currently set at 3% of the property\u2019s assessed value for 2024[3][4]. Since its introduction, the number of vacant properties in Vancouver has dropped by 54% between 2017 and 2022, indicating the tax has contributed to reducing the number of empty homes and increasing housing availability[10][9]. However, while it has helped, housing affordability remains a challenge, and the tax is one of several measures aimed at addressing it[2].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"20054\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/img_6753-jpg\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_6753-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 13 Pro Max&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1748030512&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.7&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;125&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0082644628099174&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_6753.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_6753-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_6753-1024x768.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_6753-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_6753-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_6753-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_6753-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_6753-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_6753-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Royal Vancouver Yacht Club\u2019s Coal Harbour Marina Expansion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club (RVYC) has proposed a 13.3% expansion of its Coal Harbour Marina, which would add 47 new slips, replace and upgrade infrastructure, and improve environmental sustainability[5][6][7].

you simply pay local price plus GST\/PST at the till unless a store runs its own tourist rebate scheme.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>U.S. side duties: When you declare on return, CBP applies your personal exemption; only the value above that limit is potentially dutiable. For most small personal quantities, CBP either waives duty or charges a modest flat rate, especially if you are only slightly over the limit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Country of origin vs. personal exemption: Tariffs on Chinese or other foreign\u2011made goods (e.g., Section 301 duties) normally apply in commercial import scenarios but the personal exemption generally covers casual traveler purchases up to your dollar limit; that is the legal \u201ctariff avoidance\u201d mechanism you are asking about, and it is explicitly built into the rules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

clean: keep receipts, know your approximate total in USD, declare everything, and let the officer apply your exemption; failing to declare is what gets people into trouble, not optimizing within the exemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Chinese\u2011made goods much cheaper in Canada?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, no\u2014China\u2011manufactured mass\u2011market items (electronics, clothing, small appliances, toys) are not systematically cheaper in Canada than in the U.S.; in fact, structural pricing often goes the other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Analyses of cross\u2011border prices have found that Canadians often pay more than Americans for the same branded goods\u2014sometimes 10\u201350% more\u2014because of \u201ccountry pricing,\u201d smaller market size, and higher distribution and regulatory costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With that backdrop, even if U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods are higher at a policy level, the Canadian retail price you see on the shelf frequently embeds its own markups that cancel out any arbitrage you might hope to capture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Given this, most mainstream Chinese\u2011made products (e.g., an Anker charger, Adidas shoes made in China, a mass\u2011market gadget) are usually not worth trying to arbitrage from Canada to the U.S.; you are unlikely to see \u201cmuch less expensive\u201d pricing consistently, and sometimes you will pay more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The better play is to focus on categories where Vancouver is structurally competitive (alcohol, certain OTC items, some groceries, and uniquely Canadian products), then load up to the edge of your U.S. duty\u2011free limit so that all of that margin is realized as tax\u2011free personal imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
