Only the Federal part of GST (5%) is supposed to be charged on children’s clothing in Nova Scotia
I have heard that retailers like Forever 21, H&M that have adult and kids clothes are charging 15%, but will deduct the 10% only if you ask.
Many Canadian online retailers as well are charging the full 15% as well.
What has been your experience? Do you even pay attention?

Down the hall Payless has closed already, but word is they will return to the mall next fall.
