What are the major differences between products and services?

In Canada, before HST was implemented, what products/Services only had GST on them?

• PLEASE READ FIRST: I live in British Columbia and as of July 1st the Provincial Government implemented HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) which combined both the Federal Goods & Services Tax (GST) with the Provincial Sales Tax (PST). I never really paid much attention to Sales Tax before, but now I'm wondering - What Products & Services ALREADY had GST & PST on them??? What Products had only GST on them??? - AND- What Products/ Services had neither Tax on them??? Also, are there any Products that, before HST, never had GST or PST on them in the first place, but are NOW subjected to HST???

• Answer:

  Everything had GST on it. Really. Anything that you bought that is a Good or a Service, you paid GST on.
