Configuring Taxes for Canadian Sites/Zones

[s_mack]

Follow them again I guess.

Be careful, go step by step. If you're confused on a step... ask. But just posting that its not working gives us ZERO info to go on.

Hi zenners,

I have a 1.3.8 cart in Quebec selling books and other items.
GST on all products in Canada
+PST (compounded) on all products except for books in Quebec

I followed the config tips of this thread and it helps a lot... thank's for that! I made some tests and actually almost everything seems working fine, except for this case, when "Config->My Store->Show Split Tax Lines" = TRUE:

With orders having books and other products mixed, for people buying from Quebec as well as the ones from the rest of Canada, I observed that the GST (5%) is displayed only for the book(s) and shipping, but not for other items. PST on other items seems well displayed (and calculated).

As example:

With "Config->My Store->Show Split Tax Lines" = TRUE
Sub-Total : $34.23 (book=12.16)+(other=22.06)
Shipping : $5.53 (configured to have both taxes)
TPS (5%) : $0.88 (5%x($5.53+$12.16)) Missing (5%x$22.06)
TVQ (7.5%): $2.17 (7.5%x($22.06+$5.53+$0.88) OK
Total : $43.92 The (5%x$22.06) missing above is included

Note: A partial total of $3.05 of tax displayed here. Supposed to have $4.16 in total.

Then, with "Config->My Store->Show Split Tax Lines" = FALSE
Sub-Total : $34.23
Shipping :$5.53
TPS (5%) + TVQ (7.5%) : $3.55
TPS (5%) : $0.61
Total : $43.92

Note: Seems all taxes are displayed here!

Probably a bug in SplitTaxLines ?!

Thank's !
Franck

I'm guessing you're right, just based on the fact you get the correct calculation with that turned off. My first thought was you had the tax class wrong for "other" products, but then it would calculate wrong with the option as FALSE as well.

Me thinks yer on to someting.

Franck69,
Is it possible that you have an older version of SplitTaxLines installed? There was a bug similar to this that was raised earlier in the year and has been successfully patched as far as I am aware.

I'd suggest reading the support thread for SplitTaxLines and continuing this discussion there.

just follow this link: SplitTaxLines support thread

Regards,
Alan

I compared all files and I have the latest version.

I am using the Canadian Tax set-up as indicated and it works perfect. However, now I have Dual Pricing/Wholesale and I included the PST exempt modification as indicated in
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...27&postcount=5
but my HST zone (for NS, NB, NF) is still charging full 13% for wholesale clients.
Where and what do I have to change so that wholesale people in HST Zone would not be charged the PST?

Why it is necessary to set up 6 tax rates (3 for product and 3 for shipping) if the rates are the same in both. Only the titles change... Can I not just use the Taxable Goods tax class for shipping (the rates are the same)??

[GG01]

Is this so the tax shows on a separate line and not together??

Are the extra 3 tax rates still necessary wen the SplitTaxLine Module is installed??

[GG01]

Sorry, for all the posts... I believe that I figured it out.

I did not enter in the 6 tax rates, only 3 for Canada and in my case one for US.

I am in Canada and wanted one flat shipping rate for Canada that would add the appropriate tax rates depending on where in Canada the product was shipping. Then, I wanted a different flat rate for US being tax exempt.

I have the SplitLineTax and ZonesFlatRate Modules installed. I have 4 zone definitions (US - exempt, Can GST, Can PST, Can HST) I have only 1 tax class (taxable goods). I have 4 tax rates (GST, PST, HST, Exempt).

When I select ship to Canada, it charges the Canada flat rate and the appropriate tax. When I select ship to US, it charges the US flat rate and does not charge tax.
