Taxes in Canada - GST Holiday

Any other Acumatica users in Canada trying to implement the Tax holiday?

We have changed the tax status of all our products that qualify, but any orders that were entered previous to today are still having GST applied. Is there an easier way to fix that than having someone manually change the tax status of every single item on every single invoice? We are a toy wholesale company, so as you can imagine that is a lot of items and invoice we would have to manually touch.

@Lyndsey When I heard about the tax holiday I was glad that all our ecommerce customers didn’t have any items that fell into the new temporary exemptions.  I’m assuming that you changed the tax categories of the individual items?  You could maybe look at an import scenario to update all the sales orders rather than doing it one by one, but at this point, I’m assuming you’ve already dealt with most of them.

@meganfriesen37 Yes, that is what we ended up doing, it’s just a more complicated scenario than anything I had ever created before haha, but we managed in the end. We’ll just have to back the other way in February.

We had a client do that as well where (as an example) the Tax Zone is AB and the Tax Category is Exempt.  The issue we found is that they also have Customers that are in a Tax Zone of EX (ie. US customers) and the item Tax Category is Taxable.  For Tax calculations to accommodate both situations above, both Tax IDs of GST and GSTEX need to be in the AB Tax Zone and in the Tax Category.  What happens then is if there are items that do not qualify for the GST Holiday and they have a Tax Zone of AB and Tax Category of Taxable, it reports both GST and GSTEX in your Tax reports (ie it duplicates the Taxable Amount).  Did you have this situation at all?
