While I was living in Nova Scotia, I noticed that different shops 
rounded differently.  For some, a tax of one-tenth of a cent was rounded 
up to the next full cent.  For others, it would not be rounded up until 
a half cent was reached.  I'm not sure what the "correct" way was 
supposed to be for that province.  In any case, it may differ from shop 
to shop within a tax jurisdiction, too.
