GST/HST Canada & USA location

Franklin

Hi all.
I´m implementing NAV in an American company (that is a subsidiary of our spanish client) and I have many questions about how VAT is configured when working with Canada. I know several VAT rate for Canada in terms of the area with which you are working , for example , Alberta has a 5 % GST and Ontario has a 13 % HST .

Can anyone provide me documentation of this configuration NAV ? I see that in the VAT Entry table there is a field called GST / HST but i don´t know how it is used.

King regards. :-k

Here is some general information about the Canadian tax system provided by Microsoft (This article was TechKnowledge Document ID: 22896)

Canada has a federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) that applies to every province and territory in Canada. Generally, GST is collected on all supplies and services. However, the following conditions may apply: An Exempt tax rate and a 0% tax rate may apply to certain goods. Exempt supplies should be assigned a 0% tax detail as the rate and no tax should be collected. Generally, sales of exempt supplies are tracked and reported, but can’t be claimed as Input Tax Credit.

Zero-rated supplies are taxable, but taxed at a rate of 0% and can be claimed as Input Tax Credit. As a result, no tax is applied to the sale of these goods, but information is available for input tax credit purposes when you complete the GST returns.

Provincial Sales Tax (PST)

is collected at different rates throughout Canada. Each province also determines whether the GST is taxable by the PST.

Québec Sales Tax (QST)

is the provincial sales tax in Québec. QST is taxed at two rates, one for products and another for services.

Example: In a Canadian province there is a PST with 5 % and a GST with 10%. The PST is also calculated on the GST tax.

If you manage to find a source for more detailed information related to NAV, I'd appreciate you sharing it.
