Canadian Taxes Contribution

[needs_a_nap]

I have to agree that there is alot of confusion with Revenue Canada. I've had clients all told differently as to the out-of-province tax collection. I myself have called Revenue Canada twice in a row, and been told 2 different things. Accountants seem to vary on their responses as well. When I found that website awhile back, I figured they had finally all come to an agreement! Who knows with them.

So, I'm going to just go with what you've got in the new contrib, thanks again for an easy-to-install mod - your time is appreciated.

When you get varying opinions from tax professionals, or anyone, ask them to put their recommendations in writing, on letterhead, with their signature, with something in the wording that says they'll back up their opinions in any challenge from CRA. That usually gets them to actually make sure they're certain about their suggestions rather than casually making guesses. Even just asking them if they'd be *willing* to put it in writing will usually tell you a lot about how confident they are with the information they've been giving you. Helps weed out the guesses from those who know better. You can even do the same with CRA ... and if they're not willing to give concrete information then find someone who is. Better to know *before* there's a problem, than to go looking for advice *after*.

Hello,

Information for Quebec store owners:

As per Revenu Quebec http://www.revenuquebec.ca/en/entrep...egime-tvq.aspx

The QST is now calculated on the selling price not including GST. However, to ensure the total taxes payable remain the same, the QST rate has been increased to 9.975%.

Little question about Quebec taxes...

When I "activate" the tax rate, in the checkout total, it only uses the QST. It doesn't use the GST as it should. How do I get it to work?



What is shown in the checkout page:

Sub-Total: $16.00
Store Pickup (Walk In): $0.00
TPS - 9,975%: $1.60
Total: $17.60

What it should show:

Sub-Total: $16.00
Store Pickup (Walk In): $0.00
GST - 5%: $0.80
TPS - 9,975%: $1.60
Total: $18,40

Sounds like your GST tax rate isn't associated with a tax class that's relevant for that purchase.

How can I do that?

I've got only one tax class (GTS/HST), and my 13 tax rates are linked with it, includind the QST. Do I have to create a new tax class?

[degufan]

I've created a new tax class to put Quebec apart with it's 2 taxes, for the moment. It works, but I'd like to be sure I didn't mess it all for the rest of the Canadian zones...

Just a note to those Canadian Site, it is best to contact the revenue departments of the provinces that you sell to,

they are the best suited to answer any questions you have about sales into their respective provinces.

My observations:
As of now, any business that sells into Manitoba has to register and charge the 8% Retail Sales Tax.

Quebec's rules are quite like the GST rules, you will have to register there after $30,000 in sales for 4 Consecutive quarters or $30,000 in one quarter.

BC also requires you to register from all that I can tell from there PST Documentation since there switch back to GST and PST on April 1, 2013.
