Anyone know what the USA's stance is on refund of taxation paid for
accommodation by visiting tourists from olde England.

Cheers.

There's no VAT here.

Each state and some cities have their own sales tax.

No refunds for anyone that I've ever heard of.

Next time come to Canada. At least you can get GST (7%) back, and in some
provinces (Quebec, I think) you get the provincial tax back as well.

I would imagine it is forget it!

I don't know of any country in the world that refunds taxation paid by
visitors except on things they take out of the country with them.

If you are not taking the accommodation home with you :-) then no
chance.

Canada will allow you to claim GST on accomodation as well as exported
goods.
