You could try the Excise Information System; dial 1-800-267-5979 with a modem
(up to 2400 baud).  It includes recent GST announcements, and
a "Q&A" database which you can search to find answers to specific
questions, or to which you can submit a question which will be
answered in the database within a couple of weeks.
