go figure, I'd only find this out after I've already configured for 7% just yesterday, HA!
Ya, I changed mine.
Hello,
Any idea how taxes are configured if the store / business is in Ontario, and it ships to both within Canada and the US? It appears to me that since the sale goes outside of Canada no GST/PST/HST is charged.
thank you,
Daniel
I charge tax to everyone (but I am expecting to have all my sales within Canada).
You can do what you are describing by "zones" Set up a US zone and a Canada zone. Then apply the tax only to the Canada Zone.
Hey Canadians!
just a tip, as of july 1, 2006, Canadian GST is reduced to 6 percent. Dont forget to change your stores.

Daniel, the general rule of thumb as far as I've seen to this point is that if the sale SHIPS to a region for which you ARE registered to collect taxes, you collect them. Otherwise, you do not.Quote:

Naturally, there are always exceptions which vary by industry, and a consultation with your tax professional (accountant) should clarify these issues for you.
I'm setting up a store for a client in Quebec where they have their PST applied on top of the GST.
I used the same setup as noted for Ontario (which I have working super fine on my cart) but it's not charging ANY taxes for Quebec at all when I test it.
I set up the Zones as noted in the instructions and set the Quebec PST to be priority 2 so that it would charge the 7.5% on top of the 6% GST.
I have created 2 test products - one which should have both taxes charged and one that should be PST only.
When I test using a shipping address in Ontario, it charges me 6% GST as it should. :) When I test using a shipping address in Ontario, it should be charging me (on a 10.00 GST/PST item and a 10.00 PST item):
GST: $0.60
PST: $1.55
It comes up with NO TAXES at all.
Is it because the postal shortform is different? IE. it could be QC or PQ? I also tried Quebec in my address...
Thanks!

While following the very helpful directions written here (Thank you!) I have somehow converted all of my shopping cart buttons to a 'contact us' button link to the "contact us" page. Does anyone know if this is a coincidence? I have also been altering some of the html to customize my pages, maybe that is actually the source of the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
