Tax applicability

This program allows you to capture and maintain applicable taxes for Canada. These include Goods and Services Tax (GST) at federal level across Canada and Provincial Sales Tax (PST) applied by some provinces or Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), which is a combination of GST and PST for provinces where a single tax rate applies. The tax rates are setup by effective dates and GEO code (geographical identifier for specific location used for tax purposes to determine tax rate eligibility & rates).

If Avalara taxation is used by the company (as per BNADS/AV-IF2 setting) then this program is not applicable.
