Different tax classes on FedEx Ground shipping

Hi Everyone

With the lovely tax changes that the Gov't of Canada has put on us, I now have to charge some provinces GST only on shipping and other provinces HST.

The FedEx Ground shipping module only allows for 1 tax class to be used. How do I go about making it so multiple tax classes can be used.

IE:

ON,BC,NF,NS,NB - HST charged on shipping

The rest of Canada - GST charged on shipping

According to the FedEx site I have to charge those taxes. http://www.fedex.com/ca_english/news/hst.html

Thank you,

Deb

When you are finish. Use GST Shipping Class in your FedEx Module.

Thank you Royal. I printed off all that information from that thread last night & I am pretty sure that is what I have set up.

I will redo all my taxes again as instructed and hope that it works with FedEx. I am still not sure what tax class to click so that the different provinces would get the proper taxes added.

Thanks again,

Deb
