Canadian Tax law is not supported in Prestashop

[sbordun]

Hi,

When Prestashop will be able to show multiple taxes in Cart/PDF Invoice/Mail template/Paypal for Canadian customers?

Looks like Canadian customers were ignored for a long time.

 

The current version of Prestashop is not useful for Canada if the store needs to add taxes into the Shopping Cart.

I found that the issue regarding supporting multiple  Canadian Taxes presentation in Cart/PDF Invoice/Email Template/Paypal was raised, but not done yet:

https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/issues/9999

Here is my full explanation of the issue:

There are two tax scenarios that applies to Canada:

CA – 5% – federal tax (global Canadian tax)
CA-A – 10% – province #1
CA-B – 20% – province #2
CA-C – 30% – province #3
…….

[SCENARIO #1]
The shipping address from “Province #1”
Tax rule for Province #1: “Combined” taxes CA + CA-A
Then the result on the shopping cart below:
Subtotal (excluding taxes) CA$50.00
Shipping Free $10.00
Tax CA (5%): CA$3.00
Tax CA-A (10%) CA$6.00
TOTAL (tax incl) CA$69.00
CA registration# xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CA-A registration# xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Then the customer will pay you $69 via PayPal

[SCENARIO #2]
The shipping address from “Province #2”
Tax rule for Province #2: “Single” Tax only: CA-B
Then the result on the shopping cart below:
Subtotal (excluding taxes) CA$50.00
Shipping Free $10.00
Tax CA-B (20%) CA$12.00
TOTAL (tax incl) CA$72.00
CA-B registration# xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Then the customer will pay you $72 via PayPal

– It is against the Canadian law do not show separate taxes in shopping cart and invoices.
– The law also required to show the tax registration# on invoices (each tax has it is own registration #)
(Tax Rules have “Description” field for each Tax. this description field could contain the Tax registration# to show it below Total line if Description is not EMPTY)

If you would be able to create a module or add an additional functionality into the Core for Canadian customers – all your Canadian customers will appreciate it. Or maybe there are other counties with 2 taxes too that would like this change.

Hi Sbordun,  Did you ever figure out how to put both taxes? also when I calculate taxes it doesn't add up! For example in tuk66 the QST should be 2.85 instead of 2.84.

This is a huge deal for Canadian that want to use Prestashop seriously.

You are right, in a perfect world. This example was created in PS 1.5.6 where the total was not right. The total should be 32.85, not 32.84. So this module tried to do its best to round all amounts so the summary is right.
