Doubling up on Taxes for one zone only
First, I apologize, I am not the most technically-minded person.
We sell products throughout Canada and have specific tax rates for each province. Until 2 purchases came through yesterday, it seemed like the taxes were calculating properly.
Starting yesterday, on BC only, Zen Cart is calculating the tax like this: HST + GST (should not be there at all...) + HST (again) + GST (again!). Customers are being charged double the tax, but only on this zone. When I look at the Tax Rate for this zone, it is set up as 12% HST. I can't figure out where the 5% GST is coming from or why it is doubling it...
I did a bunch of test purchases and BC is the only zone that this is happening to...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

v1.3.9h
We have been using Zen Cart since June 2011
Unfortunately, the person who built this website is MIA. I cannot accurately answer the question regarding customization or add-ons. I apologize for the lack of information and understand it makes it difficult to figure out why we are having this problem.
I have browsed the FAQ & Forums and have not seen the exact problem (or a resolution) to what we are experiencing. I did see one post that recommended checking the zoning. I checked my Zone Definitions and it looks like this:
ZONE DESCRIPTION
Alberta AB 5%GST
British Columbia 12% HST
Florida Florida local sales tax zone
Manatoba MB 5% GST
New Brunswick NB 13% HST
Newfoundland NL 13% HST
North West Territories NT 5% GST
Nova Scotia NS 15% HST
Nunivut NU 5% GST
Ontario ON 13% HST
Prince Edward Island PE 5% GST
Quebec 5% GST
Saskatchewan SK 5% HST
Yukon Territories YT 5% GST
My Tax Rates look like this
Tax Rates
Priority Tax Class Zone Tax Rate Description
1 Taxable Goods Florida 7% FL TAX 7.0%
1 Taxable Goods Alberta 5% 5% GST
1 Taxable Goods British Columbia 12% 12% HST
1 Taxable Goods Manatoba 5% 5% GST
1 Taxable Goods New Brunswick 13% 13% HST
1 Taxable Goods Newfoundland 13% 13% HST
1 Taxable Goods North West Territories 5% 5% GST
1 Taxable Goods Nova Scotia 15% 15% HST
1 Taxable Goods Nunivut 5% 5% GST
1 Taxable Goods Ontario 13% 13% HST
1 Taxable Goods Prince Edward Island 5% 5% GST
1 Taxable Goods Quebec 5% 5% GST
1 Taxable Goods Saskatchewan 5% 5% GST
1 Taxable Goods Yukon Territories 5% 5% GST
I aplogize if I have overlooked something in the FAQ or another Fix in the forums.
The problem started on Oct 19 as far as I can tell. However, prior to Oct 19 we had not had any BC customers, but taxes were being calculated properly for all of our other customers from various Provinces & states.
The site has been tested and active since June 2011. It is applying the proper tax rates to US consumer and Canadian Consumers of other provinces.
Thanks again.
Re: Doubling up on Taxes for one zone only
Admin->Locations/Taxes->Zone Definitions -- click on BC, then click Details. What country/province settings are selected there?
Re: Doubling up on Taxes for one zone only
The Country is Canada and the Zone is BC (British Columbia)
I checked a couple of other provinces, and they seem to be set up the same way.
Thanks for your prompt responses.
Re: Doubling up on Taxes for one zone only
I was just wondering if anyone was able to help me with this issue? It is still applying multiple taxes...
