Simple tax configuration = headache!

[rpfray]

Hello everyone,

 

I hope someone can explain to an idiot, in a paragraph or two, how to set up my tax. I'm trying to charge 7.5% tax to residents of Arizona, USA, and that's it - no tax for anyone else. So far I've managed to confuse myself and everyone is being charged 7.5%. I've been through all the instructions, and many threads on this forum and elsewhere, and the best I can find are comments such as "set up the tax rates" and "add the tax zones and classes". What? How?

 

Thanks - any advice genuinely appreciated! :thumbsup:

Not sure if this item in the Knowledge Base will help you

So you have a tax zone of Arizonia

 

You have a Tax Class of Taxable Goods

 

You have a Tax Rate for the Tax Class applied to Tax Zone Arizonia

 

me too and I have the error as well :(

Well it seems that the Tax Zones is a little mysterious.

 

Not only do you enter the Tax Zone, you have to double click on it (as if it were a product category and add under it details of where it is applied).

 

Here you choose the Country and the zones (again). Put in US and Arizonia and you should be right :)
