okay after more investigating i have solved a few things and found out a few more things....

as it stands right now... i have the base price and i have the price factor and offset adjusted to compensate for the price changes i want to make...

the only problem left is...

it is using the tax before it calculates the price factor when it ads to cart

example

product A is 20" long and priced $20
product A 22" version is 10% higher set up with the price factor

now what the cart is doing is:

it is taking the $20 from product A 20" and adding 13% provincial tax to ist then it is adding the 10% from the price factor increase

there for the amount on the cart is incorrect becuase.. when i go to check out and enter my address it ads the provincial tax again...

was i clear on this and can anyone help?
