Question - FPC and taxes?

[peterman]

Okay, fellow couponers I have a question.

According to the Loblaws coupon policy when you redeem a FPC at Superstore, the redemption should include the taxes.

2.9 The value of a coupon that offers a product for free will include the amount of any applicable taxes.

I have redeemed many FPCs at Superstore, but they always just put the FPC in for the amount of the product. Doesn't that mean you are still paying taxes. For example, I redeemed Nordica Cottage Cheese for 4.29 and they simply put a manufacturer coupon for -$4.29. Doesn't that mean I am still paying taxes on the original $4.29? How are they supposed to ring it in so you are not paying taxes? Do they have to override the price, and put the product in for 0?

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated :-D

cottage cheese has no tax that that should be good you just have to watch and tell them if they make a mistake on a taxable item(pop, chips) . I have had things rung in both ways. I find it's easiest to do FPC's in a separate order to keep track.
