   We recently received a requests to support Canadian GST and PST taxes. We are contemplating adding a second default tax amount to the invoice defaults. This would allow you to create and name two default taxes. For people that only need one tax the second tax would never be used, but for those that need two taxes it would make managing invoices easier by having a true secondary tax.
   
   In the mean-time, this shortcut may be helpful:
   
   Canada: Provincial rates is nominally 7.5%, but is also applied to the federal 5% GST so effectively 7.875%
   
   It would be great to get feedback on the secondary tax feature. Would you use it? Any other ideas on how to execute this and keep it easy to use?

   It looks like the second tax is calculated differently in each province, as explained in this page:
