"My store is located in Ontario, canada. Here we have to juggle Provincial Retail Sales Tax (RST a.k.a. PST), Federal Goods and Services Tax (GST), and Fed/Prov Harmonised Sales Tax (HST).

I found there was much conflicting & confusing information regarding setting up TAXES with
osCommerce. Sometimes the instructions would refer to "Tax Rate" when in reality they meant to say "Tax Zone", for example. This made setting up taxes much more complicated than necessary.

After spending almost two days muddling through it, I have it now working correctly at my new store.

These notes are a step-by-step record of exactly what I did. If it helps you, great!

*** NOTE *** This is *NOT* code, just my notes & instructions.

Although written for Ontario, Canada based store, the information is easily usuable as a guide for other countries and/or provinces."
