    Default PST/QST For Canadian Taxes

    Hi there,

    I don't know if this was talked about before but I didn't see any threads regarding this...because it seems not a lot of people differentiated calculating GST and PST.

    So, I was wondering if you or anyone else could help me setup the PST/QRT for the provinces.

    Manitoba has GST of 5% and PST of 5%, and so does Saskatchewan.
    PEI has 5% GST and 10% PST, and Quebec has 5% GST and 5% QRT.

    For example: http://www.revenuquebec.ca/en/entrep...s/default.aspx
    As you can see, the QRT is added including the price plus the GST.

    But when I set up my taxes according to the instructions on https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=75, it only added the 2 taxes together as a sum of 10% of the price (P).
    But actually, it should be the (P x 5%) + [(P+ (P x 5%)) x 8.5%] rate, which I don’t know how to translate that and implement that on Zencart.

    This tax calculation is the same for PEI as seen in http://www.taxandland.pe.ca/index.php3?number=76948

    So, its simply not just a sum of the GST & PST to get the total.

    Please help! Thank you!

    That instruction is the right one, and very good and useful!

    You need to pay attention to the detail:

    /*HINT: Leave PRIORITY at "1" for a non-cumulative tax (i.e. Ontario)
    but change to "2" for cumulative tax (i.e. You are a Quebec store)

    If you need help, you can PM me.

    Okay nevermind, I guess you can't PM images.
    I will attach it here. (oh boy, the image is small...) This is a screenshot of the taxes I created.

    I did use 2 for the provinces with GST and PST, but again, the 2 taxes just sum up.

    The taxes will sum if they're at the same priority. They will calculate cumulatively if they are at different priorities.

    So, if you charge 10% first, and then want to add another 5% tax ONTO the already-tax-at-10% amount, then you set the 10% tax at priority 1, and set the 5% tax at priority 2.

    Ah I see, that makes a lot of sense. Before, I made the 2 taxes the same priority, 2.

    I made the necessary changes and its fine now! Thanks so much!
