Ontario, Canada - Removing sales tax when somone purchases six items

I'm in Ontario, Canada and we have a tax exemption here when someone purchases six items or more in a bakery.

I'm trying to create a rule that will remove the sales tax (HST) when someone makes a purchases of six or more products.

There is an odd little known tax rule in Ontario where if a "meal" is under $4,00, then the Provincial Tax of 8% is not payable but the 5% Federal tax is payable.  In an ice cream shop, one can have a single cone under $4 for 5% tax but 2 cones are 13%.

 

I just set up these few items under $4 as a separate item so a single cane can be 5% but if a

cone is included with other items then the whole sale is 13%. Never any complaints since no one likely knows the rule.

 

Not sure if this works with no tax rule on over 6 items.  Might work for a few items but gets crazy when many items qualify.

2024, and it is still not resolved. I contacted support and was told to add the rates and use the exemptions. I said, "So fumble my way through and hope it works?" They said, "Yes, it's terrible support and doesn't help anything!"
