Does Jobber allow me to apply 5% GST to labour charges and 12% GST + PST to parts? Since we are in British Columbia, Canada, we have two different tax rates that need to be applied separately.

Hello Nano-Repair​
We actually just ran into this with one of our Jobber clients in BC. In their case, the PST they pay on parts/materials is built into the cost of the end product, so they don't charge the customer PST again and end up effectively collecting the tax twice.
I think a similar approach to the PST could apply to you, assuming you're paying PST upfront on the parts/materials like our current client. If you haven't already, I'd definitely talk to your CPA about how the PST should be handled in your specific situation.
That said, yes, Jobber does allow you to set up both GST and PST and apply them when needed. The limitation is that it has to be done on a line-by-line basis. So, you could have labour with only GST applied and parts with both GST and PST applied. If your invoices use all-encompassing line items that combine labour and parts, you won't be able to separate the taxes appropriately.
Let me know if you have anymore questions.
