Tax codes on walmart receipts canada

HI there, I have googled this and can't seem to figure this out, so I am requesting the help of all you smart yahoo answerers.

As I review different store receipts, there are different codes to the right, which I assume are tax codes.

For example, the Wal-Mart has 'J' 'C' 'E' 'D' and 'A'

Here we have GST of 5% and PST of 8%
I know some items are exempt, but the 'E' code doesn't match up.

If anyone can help me out, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you considered the case where only one of the taxes are applied? While GST and PST have very similar criteria, there are some items where only one or the other would be applied. For example, diapers should have only GST and not PST applied.

A = 13% HST (sale item)

I think that "J" = HST, but I don't know about "A", "D", and "H".
