Weird that people disagree with you -- try taking a 7% tax of $1.25. your total will be $1.3375 -> $1.34

Is it disagreement or just eye-rolling?

Fun in Quebec: a 14.975% tax rate¹. The tax can be rounded per line item or on the total.

¹ it was so that the effective tax rate remained the same when Quebec stopped taxing the federal tax, which was pretty annoying for software.
