MyWorks makes it as easy as possible to handle accounting for the sales tax collected in WooCommerce orders from Canada. We'll automatically sync the tax charged on the order into Xero as we sync the order. All that's needed is to map your Canada tax rates in WooCommerce to their corresponding tax rates in Xero.

Setting up sales tax for Canada

If your Xero company locale is in Canada, you'd manage your Canada Xero tax rates manually in Xero>Tax > Sales Tax. 

MyWorks allows you to easily map your WooCommerce sales tax rates to the sales tax rates present in your Xero company. There are two areas in MyWorks where you can manage this. 

Settings > Tax

In MyWorks Sync > Settings > Tax, you can set your Xero tax rate that should be applied to items that are not taxed in your WooCommerce orders. This is usually a tax rate named  “Tax Exempt”.

Map > Tax Rates

In MyWorks Sync > Map > Tax Rates, you can view your WooCommerce tax rates and select the matching Xero tax rate for each.  

• The Canada GST rate would be shown first - and should be mapped to your 5% GST rate, as shown below.
• Any province you're charging sales tax for in WooCommerce can then be mapped to its corresponding Xero tax rate, like in the example below.
