Canada Tax

Canada Tax

Canadian provinces either charge GST and PST on a sale and some provinces charge only HST.

VP-ASP has the functionality to allow you to set up provincial tax rates for Canada, by simply modifying the staterates table via the administration pages.

In versions prior to 6.50, you will need to download the Canada Tax add-on from our downloads page and follow the instructions included with the download.

For version 6.50, to modify the Canadian Tax rates, log into your admin page and go to "Occasional Tasks" > "International" > "View/Edit States"

Set the selection criteria to "statecountry", "equals" and type "CA" (without quotes in the text box. Press "Display"

For each province you will need to enter the applicable tax rates. Click "edit" next to each, and chnge the "statetaxrate" field to display the GST/HST tax component amount (enter this as a decimal eg 0.06 for 6% GST)

If the province also collects PST tax, you will need to fill in the "statecanadapst" field with the correct rate.
