rjwatt Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I used Hostgator's Quick Install feature to install Prestashop 1.5.6.2. Everything went fine except that the default country is US and I need it to be Canada in order to have the correct tax configuration. I imported the localization pack for Canada but that didn't import any tax rules. Is there a way to re-configure my already installed shop so that it resembles how it would have appeared if Canada was selected as the default country during installation?

Bill Dalton Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I don't think tax rules are part of any installation. Even tax rules that are installed with default data are just meant for examples. Taxes change all the time, BC and PE are in and out of HST with every change in provincial government.

rjwatt Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Ok I'll go ahead and create them manually in that case. Thanks for the answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjwatt Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Thought I would add some additional info here, in case others have the same question.It turns out that the Canadian tax data was installed after all. It was just buried on page 2, which was not very visible.While this example data needed to be verified and adjusted, it served as a very useful guide in helping me figure out how to set up the taxes for each province.

Bill Dalton Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 And was it setup as one tax rule that you can use as default for your products, and if so what is the name of this tax rule? Or do you mean that some default tax rates have been added so that Provinces are ready to be added into a new tax rule that you will create?

rjwatt Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) There is a tax rule called CA Standard Rate that includes most of the provinces and territories. All I had to do was add a few tax rates that were missing, and then adjust each province to match what I need to be charging them as a business located in Quebec.

tuk66 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 CA Standard Rate rules is a part of Canadian localization. In my mind, these rules are not correct and I tried to create own ones - http://www.presta-addons.com/pdf/Canada%20Tax%20Rules.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjwatt Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thanks for sharing your tax rules tuk66. I am still working on trying to figure out how to charge taxes on goods shipped to other provinces, and I'm a little bit confused about why you have two taxes combined for many of the provinces. According to the information in the link below (which may or may not be accurate), I should only be charging a combined tax when selling within my home province of Quebec: http://paradisecommerce.com/blogs/blog/9027361-how-to-apply-canadian-taxes-when-selling-online Am I right to trust this information? The information I found on the Canada government website seems to say more or less the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
