Hmmmm. I don't think US companies are exempt from paying GST. I think that, like anyone, they can apply for reimbursement after the GST is paid, but I'd be astonished if they don't have to pay it in the first place. Do you have a reference from Canada Customs & Revenue Agency to back this claim up? If it's true, every Canadian could avoid paying GST on hotels buy booking & pre-paying through US agents. ==> That would be one big loophole.

That is correct. At least on PL stays, I am not paying GST on hotels in Canada despite being a Canadian citizen.
