Canadian GST PST

[Derek Atkins]

Quoting Mark Johnson <mrj001 at shaw.ca>:

> Doesn't this assume that all items have both taxes (or neither) applied?

Yes...

> That is only the case in provinces where the provincial tax has been 
> harmonized with the federal tax.  In other provinces, which items are 
> taxed and are not taxed varies between the federal and provincial 
> taxes.  Thereby, you need sometimes to apply the provincial rate to 
> just the item and sometimes to the item plus GST.

Then you need more Tax Tables, one for each combination of tax.
