Hi,

I have a problem with the two sales tax in canada/Quebec
I've read the announce concerning this problem and find this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This one comes up often enough that we need an FAQ. You need
to use the mv_handling feature.

In shipping.asc:

gst     GST     [subtotal noformat=1]   0       99999999        x .07
pst     PST     [subtotal noformat=1] [value state]     0       0       0
pst     PST for Alberta AB      0       99999999        x .075
pst     PST for Ontario ON      0       99999999        x .08
etc.
pst     No PST          0       99999999        0

GST is always applied, but PST can be geographically qualified
on province. The first line just sets up the geographic qualification.

Now just set:

        [value name=mv_handling set="gst pst" hide=1]

somewhere at the top of the checkout page.

Finally:

        GST: [shipping gst]
        PST: [shipping pst]

This work! but the calcul of the tax is not valid: exemple:
This solution calcul this way:
subtotal=10.00$ + tax1(0.70$) + tax2(0.75$) = 11.45$
And i need this:
subtotal=10.00 + tax1 = 10.70 x tax2 = 0,80.--> totaltax1(10.70) + tax2(0.80) 
= 11.50
In a larger number the diffrence is important...to important!

Can somewhone help me!!
I try this to :[calc][subtotal] + [value tax1] * [calue tax2] [/calc] but 
this doenst seem to work well...i've got number like this with this formula : 
9,323.00$

Thank you very much for your help!
p.s:Sorry for my baaad english!
