a)  defining of SalesTaxFunction

SalesTaxFunction  <<EOR

 if ( ! defined $Values->{country} or $Values->{country} ne "CA" ) {
   return { DEFAULT => 0.0 } ;
 }

    return {
        DEFAULT => 0.0,
        AB => 0.07 ,
        BC => 0.07 ,
        MB => 0.07 ,
        NB => 0.15 ,
        NW => 0.07 ,
        NS => 0.15 ,
        NT => 0.07 ,
        ON => 0.07 ,
        PE => 0.07 ,
        QC => 0.15025 ,
        SK => 0.07 ,
        YT => 0.07
    };
EOR



b)    defining of salestax-comment    user  tag
      Now in order and report you can insert new tag  :
[salestax-comment], that will explain tax calculation .

      For example for Quebec :
      Subtotal    -   13.68 CAN
      Sales Tax   -   2.06  CAN
      Explaining  -   TPS (7%) = 0.96, TPQ (7.5%) = 1.1
      Total       -   15.74 CAN

  SK  =>  sub { return "TPS (7%) " . $Tag->salestax },
