Our business revenue has grown such that we need to start charging 13% HST. A first Nations individual presenting a Status Card is entitled to be exempt from the 8% provincial sales tax. I can find no easy way to accomplish this at the end of the transaction. It appears that I have to either create multiple tax selections for each item or a specific discount to be applied to each item, both of which are clumsy and error prone. Am I missing a simple solution?
Sorry for my long delay in responding. We moved locations in the middle of a lockdown and itโs been just plain nuts around here.
I realized that the best solution was to abandon a single HST (harmonized sales tax) and instead split that into itsโ component GST (goods & services tax) and PST (provincial sales tax), and apply those to our inventory. With that in place I can de-select the PST portion for any First Nations customer at the point of sale. Not sure how or where within the Square sale that I can document the persons Status Card identification number, but that can always be accomplished manually if need be.
Thank you for reaching out to me, Justin.
Just so I understand, you're looking to charge some buyers 13% tax while charging other qualified buyers others 8%?

Did you ever get a proper answer - I can't seem to find a work around

Hey, @Richard144 The workaround that @Dave2CR offered is the current way of accomplishing this process. This is currently considered a feature request, and I will make sure to pass it over to our product team for their visibility and consideration.

Any movement on this yet? It's been over 2 years.
