Canadian GST and PST

Yes that worked for a wholesale customer when i logged in but now i selected an item and created a new account as a retail customer and when i went to checkout there is no GST charged.

Hi Windsurfer,
It can be set up purely using "Tax by Zone" so customers in Ontario pay two zone taxes, PST & GST and in Quebec they have a single Tax Zone "HST".  

Would any existing Canadian Store owners care to confirm if that is how you have set it up? 

Hi Windsurfer,

Hamish is offline at the moment. Additional "zones" and "tax rules" based on those zones needed to be entered, as indicated in our documentation mentioned earlier in this thread. You can find that documentation here:

http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/productcart/tax_manual#tax_by_zone_for_canadian_online_stores

So now the tax settings look as follows (we updated the demo store that you were using, which should be the one located here):



You can set customer exceptions for each tax rule by going into the details page (click on the tax rule name) and pressing the corresponding button ("View/Edit Customer Exemptions for this tax").

Hopefully this works for you.

Please note that our demo stores are reset regularly so the tax settings might disappear from the demo store that you have been using within 24-48 hours. We are already considering the idea of setting up a new demo store that would always have Canadian settings active. However, that's not ready yet

Hi Windsurfer,

We were able to set tax exemptions correctly using the "View/Edit Customer Exemptions for this tax" feature.

• Select Settings > Manage Taxes
• Click on the tax rule that you want to set exemptions for
• Click on View/Edit Customer Exemptions for this tax
• Select the customer(s) to add to the exemption list
• Click on Add Checked
  

See screen show below.


We are not clear on the steps you took.
Could you better clarify?

Maybe at the bottom of the customer entry form there should be a button such as select tax exemptions for this customer .......
