Canada quote workflow
Quote to invoice without losing the tax model
The common breakdown is simple: the quote is built with one assumption, then the invoice is created later with missing province context. This page is the Canada workflow layer that ties quote subtotal, province selection, and final invoice tax display together.
This page does not try to replace tax advice. It exists to reduce workflow mistakes between quote and invoice.
Quote & Estimate Builder
Create the quote before final billing.
Quote to invoice guide
Long-form Canada workflow explainer.
Invoice Generator
Turn the approved quote into the final document.
Save the tax context early
The quote should preserve enough context that the invoice does not have to be rebuilt from memory later.
That means keeping the subtotal clear, knowing the province model, and deciding whether the final invoice will show one tax line or two.
- Quote subtotal first.
- Province model second.
- Invoice tax display third.
- Final PDF review last.
Quebec is the obvious high-friction case
Quebec quote-to-invoice workflows are exactly where a dedicated tax display model pays off. If the final invoice needs TPS and TVQ separately, capture that early instead of patching it later.
Current scope
This cluster is intentionally limited to Canada sales-tax and invoice workflows.
- Source of truth is the shared
ca-tax-2026dataset. - These pages support quotes, invoices, province selection, and Quebec two-line tax display.
- Income tax, payroll, and province-specific filing edge cases stay out until official-source datasets and test fixtures are added.
