Given a province name (or abbreviation), it returns sales tax information for that area. All Canadian taxes are kept at the province level and easy to check. But this operation provides an easy report for anyone using DOTS FastTax. While simple, Canadian rates do change periodically making this operation more useful. The outputs for Canadian Taxes are different from the previous operations. The full province name and its abbreviation are returned. In addition, there are three types of taxes returned for Canada. Provincial Sales Taxes (PST) are collected for most provinces. Goods and Services Tax (GST) is also applied in many cases. For a few provinces there is an alternative Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) which is a simplified blended version of PST and GST. In all cases, either HST or PST and GST apply (the other values will be 0 in each case). Finally, there is a last flag (ApplyGSTFirst). If set to true &#8211; GST should be applied to the price of the item first and then PST should be applied to the combined total. If false &#8211; the taxes are applied individually to the normal cost of the item.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/article>\n<section aria-labelledby=\"FT-GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvince-URLEndpoints\">\n<h2 id=\"FT-GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvince-URLEndpoints\">URL Endpoints<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"is-style-no-bullets-indented-list\">\n<li><strong>JSON:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/trial.serviceobjects.com\/FT\/web.svc\/json\/GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvince?Province={PROVINCE}&amp;LicenseKey={LICENSEKEY}\">https:\/\/trial.serviceobjects.com\/FT\/web.svc\/json\/GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvince?Province={PROVINCE}&amp;LicenseKey={LICENSEKEY}<br \/>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>XML:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>\n          <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/trial.serviceobjects.com\/FT\/web.svc\/json\/GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvince?Province={PROVINCE}&amp;LicenseKey={LICENSEKEY}\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/trial.serviceobjects.com\/FT\/web.svc\/xml\/GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvince?Province={PROVINCE}&amp;LicenseKey={LICENSEKEY}<br \/>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<div style=\"display:flex; gap:16px; flex-wrap:wrap; margin:24px 0;\">\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #d1d5db; border-radius: 8px; padding: 16px; max-width: 320px; background: #f9fafb; flex: 1;\">\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 8px; font-size: 1.2em;\">Run This Request in Postman<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; line-height: 1.4;\">Test with this province:<br \/>\n<a style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #2563eb; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.postman.com\/service-objects-api\/service-objects\/example\/41579131-e9141e48-7acd-4aa4-a228-73277d55606f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\nBC<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #d1d5db; border-radius: 8px; padding: 16px; max-width: 320px; background: #f9fafb; flex: 1;\">\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 8px; font-size: 1.2em;\">Check out the Integration Code in GitHub<br \/><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; line-height: 1.4;\"><a style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #2563eb; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ServiceObjects\/fast-tax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\nGitHub<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section aria-labelledby=\"FT-GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvince-GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvinceInputs\">\n<h2 id=\"FT-GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvince-GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvinceInputs\">GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvince&nbsp;Inputs<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-table-section\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Name<\/th>\n<th>Type<\/th>\n<th>value<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Province<\/td>\n<td>String<\/td>\n<td>Varies<\/td>\n<td>The full name or abbreviation of the province to get tax rates for<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>LicenseKey<\/td>\n<td>String<\/td>\n<td>Varies<\/td>\n<td>Your license key to use the service.<br \/>Sign up for a free trial key at<br \/>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serviceobjects.com\/fasttax\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.serviceobjects.com\/fasttax\/<\/a>\n        <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/section>\n<section aria-labelledby=\"FT-GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvince-GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvinceOutputs\">\n<h2 id=\"FT-GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvince-GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvinceOutputs\">GetCanadianTaxInfoByProvince&nbsp;Outputs<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-table-section\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Name<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Type<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Values<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>ProvinceName<\/td>\n<td>String<\/td>\n<td>Varies<\/td>\n<td>The full province name.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ProvinceAbbreviation<\/td>\n<td>String<\/td>\n<td>Two letter prov. code<\/td>\n<td>The provinces abbreviated name.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>GoodsSalesTax<\/td>\n<td>String<\/td>\n<td>Decimal digit<\/td>\n<td>The value of the Goods and Services Tax for the province.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ProvinceSalesTax<\/td>\n<td>String<\/td>\n<td>Decimal digit<\/td>\n<td>The value of the sales tax for the province.
