Canada / Quebec taxes

Hi,

I checked your plugin and it works great. The only problem for now is to define Quebec taxes.

In Quebec taxes are calculated like this:
Product without taxes: 10.00
Canada federal tax: 5% 10.00 x 5% = 0.5
Quebec provincial tax: 8.5% (10.00 + 0.5) x 8.5% = 0.8925
Total: 10.00 + 0.5 + 0.8925 = 11.3925

The problem is to display the Federal tax and Provincial tax separate and to store them separate, and make the totals.

Can you make a special case like this?

I don't mind to use the percentage of 13.9250 to calculate the total taxes (federal and provincial) but I need to display them separate in the cart like this:

Product 10.00 (w/o tax)
Federal tax 0.50
Provincial tax 0.89
Total: 11.39

It could be a reverse calculation too. Starting with 11.39 to calculate the 2 taxes.

Where these are calculated and how to modify them?

So, the taxes are calculated on customer residence. E.g.:
If customer enter Quebec like residence it should calculate like above the both taxes, one on the top of other.
If the customer, enter Ontario only a single tax should be displayed: HST 13%
If US than 0% should be displayed.

Maybe this can be helpful:

Update: Maybe you can add an exception in the function
function get_cart_tax() from the jigoshop_cart class?
Or pass the province as a parameter and make an if inside the function?

Thanks for you help and your good work.
