Valve Steam - Taxes?

Not as far as I know. Valve games are always priced equally in Aus and the US (other publishers deliberately raise prices for Aus), and we must have 10% tax included in the price or a clear statement that it has been excluded. But the game was not sold in Aus, and therefore is not subject to that law because the Government is not getting a cut. :)  I would assume that the same applies for you.

Best solution

Well if it includes tax it would be American taxes only. You don't have any taxes applied for different regions. Otherwise, as I said before, all prices would have to be 10% higher here without exception (although the price excluding tax can be advertised as long as this is clearly noted to be the case. The final price would still be 10% higher if the tax existed.) But no prices are higher due to taxes, only due to the price hikes that publishers like to give us because retail prices are so high here and they don't want to butcher retail sales.

In short: any taxes that you'd normally be charged in Canada will not apply to Steam purchases.
