does anybody know of a way to detect whether tax total is just 'Tax Total' (e.g. US sales tax) vs 'GST/HST' (for Canada tax) within freemarker? or do i just need to use a combination of country/subsidiary to detect?

found a Suiteanswers article that just uses currency to detect, guess i'll use that

bah currency really doesn't work, going to have to be by subsidiary i think

Shouldnt you be able to detect the type of tax the tax code is using?

For CA GST is distinct from PST / QST so you should be good on that subtotal

Yeah I was sort of hoping that the taxtotal vs tax2total labels would show properly but they don't. I'm using nexuscountry now to detect it which I think is best

We suspect it was created to benefit Avalara in the early days of NS

I think taxtotal was the real culprit now that you mention it

anyway the sum is coming from the calculation and its derived from the tax item which itself has a tax type

check the Tax Type on the code and the simple name may reveal what you want

and for people reading this its applicable to Legacy Tax. I believe SuiteTax still subtotals by tax type
