Canadian HST at Different Rate

Re: Canadian HST at Different Rate

PST certainly does still exist.

SK - 5% PST
MB - 7% PST
QC - 7.5% QST
PE - 10% "PST" (Prince Edward Island Revenue Tax)

Re: Canadian HST at Different Rate

Can anyone guide a Canadian VAT newbie on this? I need to set up tax for a canadian store (no service fees, just purely taxable items) and am completely befuddled by the HST, GST, PST tax shipping, no tax shipping etc. Anyone have a screen shot of their correctly set up Canadian VAT in the Miva admin screen they'd care to share? Thanks and my apologies for the lack of knowledge. I'm in Texas and unfamiliar with Canadian tax implementation.

Hi

YUes it can be confusing. Here is a link to the Canada Revenue Agency to help with rates:

It will depend on where the store is located to enter the correct rates. The attached screenshot is a store located in BC.

I am having a problem with setting up rates. Whenever I go to 'Add Province', only US States come up as options. The only option I have is 'Outside US', which doesn't help!

Am I missing a step here? This is under the Canadian VAT system module.

Re: Canadian HST at Different Rate

Unsu,

You'll need to go to the "States" link in your left menu and manually add each Canadian Province. This is how ours looks: (keep in mind our Canadian store does not ship to the US, so Miva created us a "billing only" option for US billing addresses.

Remove	Code	State
		<- Select One ->
	AB	Alberta
	BC	British Columbia
	MB	Manitoba
	NB	New Brunswick
	NF	Newfoundland
	NS	Nova Scotia
	NT	Northwest Territories
	NU	Nunavut
	ON	Ontario
	PE	Prince Edward Island
	QC	Quebec
	SK	Saskatchewan
	YT	Yukon
	Z-US	United States - Billing Only
1-15

Re: Canadian HST at Different Rate

And here are the correct settings for Canadian tax, assuming you're not collecting PST in any specific province.

GST: %

Apply GST to Shipping

Remove Province Use HST HST Rate Use PST PST Rate Tax Shipping? Tax GST? <- Select One -> 0.000% New Brunswick 13.000% Newfoundland 13.000% Nova Scotia 15.000% Ontario 13.000%

Re: Canadian HST at Different Rate

To add to what Dylan said above:

The "GST" box should have 5.000% in it and "Apply GST to shippng" should be checked.

Also, Prince Edward Island should also be in the list. "Use HST' checked, "HST Rate" 14.000% and "Tax Shipping" checked

"On April 1, 2013 PEI followed the provinces of Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador in replacing its PST with the HST. The combined HST rate in PEI is 14%."

Re: Canadian HST at Different Rate

Thank you razertip, I had no idea that PEI had moved to a harmonized tax as well.
