AlanSalamander Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi all, My store (still in development) is charging sales tax for shipping. I have done two things to stop this: 1) In the order total module, tax is listed before shipping (sub-total, tax, shipping, total) 2) I have added a tax class in the proper state called "shipping" with the rate set to 0%, and I have made sure to select this shipping class under "table rate" in the Shipping module. I do have the table rate turned on and the other shipping methods turned off. However, no matter these changes, it still keeps charging me sales tax on the shipping. What do I need to do to turn this off? Thanks in advance. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitseffort Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 change it in whichever shipping modules you are using, must have the shipping set to use your tax class in admin "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer.

rabbitseffort Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 just tried to get you to double check if this is a stock osc shop it should not be doing this, I say do not set any tax class to shipping, it is not needed, you do not need a tax class set to zero to make it work right "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer.

Still I have the problem of being charged tax for shipping. Any further ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 In your admin -> modules -> order total make sure that tax is calculated before shipping costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSalamander Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hi, I still haven't been able to stop the ordering process from taxing the shipping too. So far I have done everything that everyone has mentioned (or it was already done before asking the question). However, the problem isn't resolved. Can someone who is familiar with this problem please look back over the suggestions and note any possible fix that hasn't been mentioned yet? I would be very appreciative.

AlanSalamander Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hi Everyone, Here is an interesting bit of information that might help one of you to diagnose the problem: So, my site still is charging sales tax on the shipping even though I have done everything necessary so that it shouldn't be. However, I set up a simple test site with all the settings so that I wouldn't get charged sales tax on shipping in the test store, and viola, it worked exactly as it should have. I have checked and double-checked and the settings in my store and in this test store regarding everything related to sales tax are exactly the same for everything. I have no doubts about this. This leads me to believe that there is something outside of Admin that is causing things to default to always charging sales tax on everything no matter what. Where should I be looking to figure out what, outside of admin, is causing this? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
