Dual Tax Rate Support For Canada & Peru
For example, Company iSumurai is a resident of the province of Montreal.
All transactions will be taxable at:
Goods and Services (GST): 5%
Provincial Sales Tax (PST): 9.975%
By law all invoices should display subtotal, then GST 5% line with total GST amount, then PST 9.975% line with total PST amount and then grand total.
To facilitate our customers, we've just rolled out a feature in RepairDesk that will allow cellphone store owners to enable dual tax rate & display GST & PST separately on an invoice.
Note: RepairDesk allows you to enable dual tax against mobile, accessories and parts, trade-in and casual items, along with services such as repairs and unlocking.

A. It's simple. Export the CSV file of Inventory and under the column Tax Inclusive enter 0 in all cells.
