Is it OK to link to the ones we can print from CC?It's not just the GST that makes it confusing. I live in an HST province (14%). HST applies to regular product and shipping, there is only 6% tax on library items and no tax at all on pantry items. It makes for a mess if someone puts a pantry item in the product section and ya miss it.

Oh, good Lord!!!
That sound you just heard was me hitting the ground!
NOBODY should have an order form that has 4 pages. I'll take a look at it this weekend, but even just replicating the first page will probably be pretty close to the confusing mess that HO devised. Ugh!
Of course, the easy answer is to just charge the highest tax rate on everything, and put any extra money toward Round-Up.

Yep, needless to say poor newbie consultant me has made a good number of mistakes and owe 2 people (luckily one of my best friends and my mum) and have 2 that owe me (amounts under a dollar so I'm going to suck it up).
I only print the first page, the rest of it is the buyers rights to cancel in 2 languages (and it is printed on their actual receipt).
Some people around here are the tax police and know what tax amounts are for what, so I dunno if the round up for heart thing would work. Though I may try it with the library items (as long as the pantry items are in the right place, there's no tax on them).
