Hi All,
We're in Ontario, and we followed Doug's suggestion and set up our clients' with the OES tax group.

It works by calculating the OES tax on either Cost 1 or Cost 2. IF Cost 1, then the OES Tax is going to be 100% of the field. You will need a new tax group, say OES, and Jurisdiction 1 will be PST, Justisdiction 2 will be OES, and Jurisdiction 3 will be GST.

GST can be charged on selective lower jurisdictions.

For now, you cannot report on the line calculation tax for the each line item, but for practical purposes say in Point of Sale slips, it really isn't viable. You can report the total for Jurisdiction 2 as an OES fee amount as a summary line item or a total.

To implement, export out the customer tax groups and import and replace with the OES Tax Group. Also export the Item cost1 (or Cost 2) with the related OES fee for applicable item, and reimport back in.

GST initially said you had to report each line item designation for being GSTable or exempt. It was never enforced and most sites still do not report other than on the total.

If you need assistance, call our office in Waterloo. 800-540-3164. We can do onsite or remote installation.

Regards,
Brian
