Canada has three types of taxes.

• Provincial Sales Tax (PST)

• Goods and Services Tax (GST)

• Harmonized Sales Tax (HST)

Depending on the province, either PST + GST or HST is charged. AP Agility supports this as follows:

• GST is extracted into Tax Amount 1.

• PST is extracted into Provincial Sales Tax. This field needs activated in Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > Field Settings.

• HST is extracted into Harmonized Sales Tax if this field is activated in Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > Field Settings.

  Otherwise, the HST is extracted into the Tax Amount 1 field.

This means that it is mandatory to enable the Provincial Sales Tax field. It is optional to activate the Harmonized Sales Tax field, but if you require this as a separate field, it is recommended that you activate this field.

During amount cross-check the value for the tax amount is calculated by Tax Amount 1 + Provincial Sales Tax + Harmonized Sales Tax.

During export, the calculated tax amount including PST and HST is used:

• when exporting the tax amount to Process Director or SAP.

• when writing the tax amount to a CSV file.

When exporting the Tax Amount to an XML file, a database, or through an ERP connector, all tax fields are exported individually.
