Montreal and Quebec City businesses work in French first, charge two sales taxes and follow Quebec's Law 25 privacy rules, which are stricter than the rest of Canada. A Zoho setup has to reflect all three from day one.
What a Quebec setup covers
| Area | What we configure |
|---|---|
| Language | Zoho apps in French for users; French and English email, quote and invoice templates |
| Sales tax | 5% GST and 9.975% QST as separate taxes, with registration numbers on invoices |
| Privacy (Law 25) | Consent fields, data-access roles, retention rules and an export path for access requests |
| Data residency | Canadian data centre selected before the account is created |
| Customer communication | Language preference on every contact, used by templates and campaigns |

Law 25 in practice
Law 25 asks businesses to name a person responsible for personal information, get clear consent, limit access and handle access and deletion requests. Zoho gives you the tools; your policies decide how they are used. We set up the fields, roles and reports, and you confirm the policy with your privacy adviser. This is not legal advice.
