Matt - I just actually dissassembled a canada shipping/ tax piece on one of my clients sites I built. Basically here are the elements - 1) Broker Fee / Customs and all that - Typically a broker fee is involved - a percentage based fee. Includes a standard federal percetn fee too I believe. If not broker- then I guess jsut the federal - my clients used a Broker to eliminate this guessing. 2) Province tax - as much as 15% in Newfoundland 3) Exchange Rate 4) Your shipping rates - flat rate or carrier
We applied tax pre-shipping cost - yet the broker fee I beleive needed to be on complete purchase. Hope this little bit helps. Feel free to email me off list if you wnat further details. jay miller P.S. THe rates i have for province are as follows ( please confirm them) Province ProvAbr TaxRate Alberta AB 7 British Columbia BC 14 Manitoba MB 14 New Brunswick NB 15 Newfoundland NF 15 Northwest Territories NT 7 Nova Scotia NS 15 Nunavut NT 7 Ontario ON 15 Prince Edward Island PE 7 Quebec PQ 16 Saskatchewan SK 13 Yukon YT 7 Matthew Fusfield wrote: >Hi, >We are building an e-commerce site that is specifically targeted to a Canadian >market.
