Code Snippets for Canadian Double-Tax Provinces (GST + PST)

In Canada, some provinces apply a double tax structure, meaning invoices must include both GST and a separate PST rather than the combined HST used elsewhere. To help you build accurate document templates, this article provides ready-to-use code snippets for each province that uses a dual-tax scheme.

Because purchase orders in Rentman can rely on different variables, each province requires its own snippet to ensure taxes are calculated and displayed correctly. Provinces that use single-tax systems are not included, as they do not affect how you bill in Rentman.

Learn how to customize your document templates in this article.
