Shouldn't there also be tax rates for the HST-15 zone? And separate shipping rates for HST-15 and HST-12? I'm having issues with a book store that now wants to sell some DVDs. Creating separate tax rates depending on where the purchaser lives is causing me serious headaches.

Let me see if I can walk you though it....here is what I did:

TAX ZONES
Set up GST Zone for those Provinces where you'll just collect GST.
Set up HST-12 Zone for BC
Set Up HST-13 Zone for ON, NL and NB
Set Up HST-15 Zone for NS

Add each of the Provinces to the appropriate Zones. Each province will fit into one zone only. For example don't add BC to both GST and HST just HST.

TAX CLASSES
Set up your tax classes....I have one for Books, Shipping and Taxable Products. 3 in total.

TAX RATES.
Set up the appropriate TAX RATES for each TAX ZONE and TAX CLASS....here is an example of how I set mine up...

1...... Shipping....... Canada GST Zone........ 5%
1...... Books.......... HST-13................. 5%
1...... Books.......... HST-12................. 5%
1...... Taxable........ Canada GST Zone........ 5%
1...... Books.......... Canada GST Zone........ 5%
1...... Shipping....... HST-13................. 13%
1...... Taxable........ HST-13................. 13%
1...... Taxable........ HST-12................. 12%

Give that a try and let me know how you make out...dan

Rick and Dan... or anyone,

What is your rule of practice for Quebec? If you don't register for QST is it okay to not charge it? If it isn't okay, shouldn't we be charging GST + QST for purchases made by Quebec residents?

Please note the Canada PST only zone which I would like to marry to the "GST Class Taxable Goods " class for items like books or childrens clothes.

I'll add more later.

Hey Rick,
Incredible work! I've been struggling with this beast on and off for about a year now. How did you ultimately configure the Canada PST zone? I manage an e-store that sells books and DVDs.

I'd also be curious to know how you breakout taxes on shipping or if you simply calculate the HST on the total once everything is added up.

You (and Dan Cole) have given me hope!
