Request : add support for 2 tax rates, per item (Canada)

Fabian Rodriguez   ( User )

In Canada 2 taxes can be charged in some provinces: provincial (PST) and federal (GST).


As a business you register for tax numbers which need to appear on each invoice. When specifying "Canada" and the appropriate province this could be preconfigured.


Several provinces use only 1 tax (HST), others use both.


Furthermore sometimes taxes don't apply to some items / services, and are not required to be charged by businesses making less than a fixed amount of annual revenue. This means when implemented each item on an invoice should have the ability to specify taxes (or not) - issue #54 seems to be about this.

In Canada, some provinces charge GST and PST separately, while others use just HST. Businesses need to show their tax numbers on invoices, and not all items or small businesses are required to charge tax. So, each product or service should have the option to include or exclude tax based on the rules.
