small correction...my bad....on the invoice under the tax column it says none! for all items,
however I noticed that lower down on the invoice it does say GST for products and for shipping and the amount is correct. What have I done wrong. This appears on al invoices by the way regardless of province.:wacko:

Hi there,
I'm in Ontario and trying to set up an additional Tax Class for Children's Clothing which applies GST only (PST exempt item - a Point-of Sale Rebate) for GST zone and HST zone.
If I create a Tax Class called "GST only Class" (with Description: GST only items) for example, then do I need to create a new Zone covering all Canadian Provinces since I need to create a Tax Rate indicating 5% for all provinces as Zone? How is everybody setting this type of products?
Also, if I am in Ontario, do I need to set HST zone just for Ontario separate from HST Zone -NB, NL (or it is OK to combine those three as one HST Zone)? I see both way in this thread and just want to know which way is better for people in Ontario.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks :smile:
Hi there,
I solved the above problem next day and everything is working great. :D
Now, I am not sure this is right place but it is Canada Tax setting/zone question so please help. I would really appreciate if someone could help me to keep all the Canadian Tax settings intact while restrict countries to only Canada. My store is almost complete and soon it will be a "LIVE" store. My Canadian Tax setting is done and working great but now I need to figure out how to restrict countries to only Canada so I can ship to Canadian customers only. When I searched, I figured there are 2 ways to do it and first option is to create a "new zone" called "Canada"
Details: Create a new zone "Canada" and insert the new Zone Definitions with sub-zones (10 provinces and 3 territories) under it, enter the new zone to your shipping module (in Shipping Zone). When I tried this, extra "GST" appears (for Example, for ontario customers, tax will appear as GST, HST for item and HST for shipping) because the Tax setting is now messed up...
(Second option - using phpAdmin and delete countries - is not my choice because I read Dr. Byte's advise - not to delete countries - in several threads and besides, if I run into problem after deleting them, I will be completely lost... sorry for mumbling about the off topic)
Anyhow, it will be great if anybody could let me know if there is anyway to "shift" or adjust tax setting so I can create new zone for "Canada only shipping" and still I can set the Canadian Tax setting right (or point me to right direction, thread).
Thank you in advance :D
Taxes will only be applied to Canadian destinations, so you don't have to do anything.
Why would you not want international customers?:dontgetit
Well, I have registered my trademark in Canada but not internationally for one reason and I want to focus on Canadian customers at first. :smile:
My understanding is that Canadian Tax setting works because the zones for GST, HST are created and each one is drill down to sub zones with each regions. I've done so and working perfect now. My dilemma is that If I want limit the country to only Canada by creating new "Zone" (let's say, "Canada only shipping") and create sub-zones (all prov.and terrt.), then that original structure is well, broken...
I looked at other threads and searched but I think I will end up deleting all other country through phpMyAdmin...
Thank you so much for this tutorial, you have kept me from tearing out all my hair. I do have one question though regarding shipping taxes. Is there a reason why under tax rates there are 4 product tax rates but only 3 shipping tax rates? Should there be a "GST Shipping Class" for the BC HST Zone as well? Or is there something I'm missing? I hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance

Correction to post #250
The shipping taxes were missing. Here's the corrected versionQuote:
I followed the instructions from newagekat (instructions as of July 1 2010) then did a dump of the affected dbase records. If you import what follows into your database, this should take care of steps 1-4 inclusive assuming you've done no other tax configuration yet.
NOTE: this also assumes the dbase prefix is "zen_" which is easy enough to change with a search and replace in the code below
