Hi,
I have a problem with the two sales tax in canada/Quebec(ontario ..etc...)
I've read the announce concerning this problem and find this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This one comes up often enough that we need an FAQ. You need
to use the mv_handling feature.
In shipping.asc:
gst GST [subtotal noformat=1] 0 99999999 x .07
pst PST [subtotal noformat=1] [value state] 0 0 0
pst PST for Alberta AB 0 99999999 x .075
pst PST for Ontario ON 0 99999999 x .08
etc.
pst No PST 0 99999999 0
GST is always applied, but PST can be geographically qualified
on province. The first line just sets up the geographic qualification.
Now just set:
[value name=mv_handling set="gst pst" hide=1]
somewhere at the top of the checkout page.
Finally:
GST: [shipping gst]
PST: [shipping pst]
All of this requires a reconfig of the catalog, of course. And the
state qualification may not work for you, as I happen to know that
Canada can do some funny things with PST exemptions based on postal
code. There you should have a custom usertag to calculate your PST
percentage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that it doesnt work with the interchange version(this
solution, i think, is for minivend)...
Did someone solve this problem with interchange...when i try this solution,
i've got a error message like this: no definition for PST&GST put 0,00$
Thank you very much for your help!
