Is there a setting to have the GST and Province taxes charged on these tickets as this is useless without that?

Hi,
There is a setting!
You check the checkbox next to “This ticket is taxable”. Please note, you’ll first need to set up your tax amounts as Default Prices. You’ll make one for GST and one for Province. The Default Prices can be set up in Event Espresso > Pricing.
Here’s a screenshot that shows the location of the checkbox within the advanced ticket settings.

Josh for the provincial tax does it just have to match the 2 digit codes?

No, you set the tax amount in percentage. So for example if the provincial tax rate is 12%, you input a 12 into the amount field.
Alternatively, you can use a price modifier (percent type) to add tax amounts.

Sorry I guess my question wasn’t clear – in naming the tax codes, do we need the full province name or the 2 digit codes?

It doesn’t matter what they’re named.

Josh – I am totally confused. We do events across Canada, so I put in regional tax amounts for each province – and NOW every ticket in every province is being charged for tax for every region?

Oh OK. In this case, you do not want to put in regional tax amounts for each province. Event Espresso doesn’t currently support “tax zones”. So in other words, when you set a regional or federal tax, it’s set for any ticket with the “this ticket is taxable” checkbox checked.
What you could do instead is use a price modifier (surcharge type). So for example if there’s a federal rate of 5%, you can set that rate as a tax and check the “taxable ticket” checkbox, but do not set the provincial sales tax as a regional tax. Instead, set a price modifier to the amount of the applicable regional tax to be applied for that ticket.

Josh – why when I use the Federal rate and click taxable, does it still charge taxes when a PROMO code is entered with 100% discount? If the ticket and the regional tax are 100% discount (for testing purposes still) Then why is it still charging a federal tax?

Hi,
It sounds like you need to set up the promotions settings so promotions affect taxes. You go to Event Espresso > Promotions > Settings, then change “Promotions Affect Taxes” to Yes. Then click Save.
