Provincial Tax Area Code Field, Purchase Header Table

Canadian Use Only. Here you can specify the tax area code for self assessed Provincial Sales Tax for this purchase. To see the available tax area codes, click the field. Note that this list will be automatically filtered to only show Canadian tax area codes.

In Canada, when a vendor does not have a business presence in the province in which purchases are made, the vendor will charge the Goods and Services (GST) or Harmonized (HST) only. However, if the province has a Provincial Sales Tax (PST), then the purchaser must still pay calculate the PST and pay it directly to the province. When a Provincial Tax Area Code is selected, the program uses it to calculate the PST and post it so that there is a tax liability in both the general ledger and the tax entry records. Therefore, the tax area code selected here should be one where only the PST is included, not the GST.
