One of initial beta testers is from Canada and I already promissed him version that will be adapted to Canada. From my understanding you have 2 levels of taxes (compounding?) and they must both be visible on invoice.

Yes. Although i don't know for other provinces, in Quebec we have the GST (5%) and the QST (7.5%). Here's how we calculate it:
total = 100$
GST = (total0.05)
QST = (total+GST)0.075
Grand Total = total+GST+QST
For the other provinces i think it depends but instead of QST they have an HST tax. But for your app i think it would be the same algorithm to support all provinces (someone please let me know if i'm wrong).

Thanks a LOT. Would you be interested in being a beta tester when I make the Canadian version?

In case the formula was not clear, i replaced the stars with x instead (HN use stars for italization and i can't edit my previous post):
total = 100$
GST = (total x 0.05)
QST = (total+GST) x 0.075
Grand Total = total+GST+QST

By the way middayc, your app seems nice. I think you're right to show it early even if it's still not perfect.
One thing about the login validation : http://grab.by/4yIb . I got "Wrong input" error when my password was wrong. I think it would be better like "Invalid Email or Password".
