State Sales Tax shown in price when a customer...

[GD]

Hello again,

 

The 0.06% KY state sales tax is shown in the price, ONLY when a customer from Kentucky is logged in, even with the

define('DISPLAY_PRICE_WITH_TAX', false); setting, set in the application_top.php!

 

My Working Tax Rate settings:

 

Priority = 1

Tax Class = Taxable Goods

Zone = Kentucky

Tax Rate % = 0.06%, this is set at 06.0000 and this calculates - item price+sales tax correctly now.

 

Example: Item price is $17.95, when logged in the price changes to $19.03 and then when logged-out it changes back to $17.95!?!

 

I've also cleared the browsers cache, cookies, ect. No luck.

 

Any ideas :?:

 

Thanks!!!

Is this the normal behavior of the oSC code :?:

If I understand your question correctly, yes that is the correct behaviour. OSC wouldn't know to add tax unless the person is logged in (and thus indicating their location). However, you probably want to change your price display to show prices without tax. You should only show tax to Kentucky users when they total up their order. That setting is either in the config file or in the admin tool somewhere.

I just check my installation for that bug your talking about. Mine does not do it. But I did find a bug that I am going to post a thread on. So my thoughts are that you do have a setting wrong.

Yes, that was the gist of my post. :D

I thought it was just this setting in both applicaton_top.php files?

define('DISPLAY_PRICE_WITH_TAX', false); :shock:

 

--------------------------

 

I guess, I'll just have to add a page or a text notice to the footer, to explain to customers, that the stores' prices will automatically add the required sales tax to the displayed prices after they are logged in.

Hi toolcrazy,

Which setting are you a eluding to :?:

[GD]

Problem fixed! :D

 

My fault... Of coarse. :oops:

 

Changed:

 

define('DISPLAY_PRICE_WITH_TAX', 'false'); // Display prices with tax (true) or without tax (false)

 

to

 

define('DISPLAY_PRICE_WITH_TAX', false); // Display prices with tax (true) or without tax (false)

 

In both admin/includes/application_top.php, catalog/includes/application_top.php files.

 

And prices now are shown correctly without the tax included.

Right you were. :wink:
