Sales tax that fits how you price, including different rates for card and cash.
Show prices tax-inclusive or add tax at checkout, name the tax as your authority does, and set separate rates for cash and card payments where your province charges less on card.
Can GECA charge a different tax rate for card payments?
Yes. Tax can use one global rate, or separate rates for cash payments and for card and other non-cash payments. This suits places where provincial revenue authorities set a lower sales tax rate for card payments at restaurants. You choose whether prices include tax or tax is added at checkout, whether tax is shown on product pages or only at checkout, and what the tax is called. Check the current rates with your tax adviser; GECA applies the rates you enter.

The problem this solves.
Rates differ by payment method
In several provinces, restaurant sales tax on card payments has been set lower than on cash.
Inclusive or exclusive matters
Showing one price and charging another at checkout loses customers.
Customers expect clear tax lines
Tax that appears without explanation at the last step causes abandoned checkouts.
