Confused... zones, classes, rates... WTF?

[tflmike]

Hi-

 

I'm trying to set up my taxes and I'm a little confuse as to what everything is. This is how I think it works out:

 

ZONES- This would be location. i.e. 'USA Colorado'

 

CLASSES- What is this for???

 

RATES- This is pretty obvious. But how do you set up different rates for states and cities? For example: CO TAX = 3.0% & Denver TAX = 2.8%. So The total tax would be: 5.8%

 

Can anyone shed any light on this?

 

Thanks very much! :thumbsup:

Please refer to this article:

That article might be useful if it an any way related to the available version of OSC!!!

 

I have 3 shipping options none of which relate to zones or require tax being calculated at checkout................

 

All I want is shipping options to be displayed and offered as per the country of the account holder not by some arbitary "zone" which may be useful to US users. I my eyes this is a relatively simple and straight forward request of the software but it cant be achieved.

 

Please somebody tell me it can be achieved - and some hints on how to do it.

 

I'm pulling hair out at the moment.

Do you mean certain shipping options blocked? Like only international shipping available for foreign countries?

 

contact me direct if you need a hand with that
