Actually, we have a 7% federal Goods & Services Tax (GST) in Canada. Not to
mention the fact that almost all of the provinces also have a Provincial
Sales Tax (PST) - Ontario's is 8%. These taxes generally aren't included in
the sticker price of CDs (or anything else), they get added at the cash
register. But we still pay 'em.
