Guest Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 I set up everything and it is all working fine except I am having trouble when someone outside of my state (Georgia) makes a purchase it still charges them tax. any Ideas? www.lanextreme.com
JoeyT Posted January 5, 2003 Posted January 5, 2003 I am having the same problem. I have selected NJ as the nly state to be charged sales tax and it is calculcating it for every state.
WS4R Posted January 5, 2003 Posted January 5, 2003 I'm having the same problem. I think? If I have an item that's taxable, and your not loged on. The price of the item is shown with tax added. If you logon with an ID not in the state FL (address is MI), the price is without tax. If you logon with an ID in the state FL, tax is added twice, once as an tax item, plus added to the items price. Running tep_snapshot-20021225, with the tax rate configed for zone FL.. Any clue? :? -- Drink More Tea George
WS4R Posted January 5, 2003 Posted January 5, 2003 my problem was a typo when I change the admin/includes/application_top.php, catalog/includes/application_top.php files It Should Read: define('DISPLAY_PRICE_WITH_TAX', false); // Display prices with tax (true) or without tax (false) I Had: define('DISPLAY_PRICE_WITH_TAX', 'false'); // Display prices with tax (true) or without tax (false) When to use ' and when not to ' :) -- Drink More Tea George
JoeyT Posted January 5, 2003 Posted January 5, 2003 see ... I dont even have that line in my application_top file.
bettin Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 This seems to be my case as well. Any solution? Maybe add all the other zones as 0% tax??
JoeyT Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 No fix yet .... and I thought about adding all the other zones at % but I can not even get the list of Zones to populate in that area now. Not sure what is up with it. But it show the country and I click on the drop down of Zones and nothing is in the list, but they are all there. Hmmmm
Guest Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 I thought about adding all the zones as )% aswell but havn't yet. my site goes live this week so I either have to fix it or add all the zones :roll:
Guest Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 Can anyone more knowledgeable with code take it from here? From what I can tell this problem arises with any NEWLY ADDED Tax Zones. These tax rates are applied to all orders, regardless of "ship to" state or account holders state. Multiple state taxes are all applied to all orders as well, if available. The good news-- The default "Florida" tax zone setting seems to work perfectly, charging only FL shipments the tax. Our issue-- However... if you delete and this default setting and ad Florida back again, you have a problem. Just as you do when you add any other states. (In an attempt to narrow down this problem I have already: tried adding 0%, logged in as various members, shipping both to their home address and other addresses, used only one and multiple states to see if it detected a difference- it does not... ) The problem lies in the newly added Tax Zones no longer taking the addresses into consideration. They just apply across the board, to every order. Wish I could do more. But something in that default Florida setting was working right! This is an issue that is has delayed my progress greatly and would appreciate any help possible in resolving it. As I know we all would. Hope this helps some. Thanks!!
drewster49022 Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 I am having the same trouble. It's very frustrating. I hope someone has figured this out.
Guest Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 Wow!!! I think I may have found OUR problem, not in code, just in the simple set up of the Tax Zones! It seems to work great now!! Under Tax Zones add your state- I have mine spelled out not abbreviated THEN... (this is what I had not done) click on the folder for the state, INSERT United States, then select your taxable state from the drop down. Under Tax Rates you set your percentage for the state(s) Under Tax Classes it is taxable goods (and merch. is set up as such within the product set-up) On my catalog I prefer for the tax to not be added in with the product price, just added during check-out. So on catalog/includes/application_top.php I have this line set to false: define('DISPLAY_PRICE_WITH_TAX', false); // Display prices with tax (true) or without tax (false) Let me know if anyone has any luck with it!
tbiser Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 :inlove: Nice work Dawn! It works like a champ. I've been pulling my hair out on this. Thanks! Consulting - If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.
Guest Posted January 18, 2003 Posted January 18, 2003 I've tried what you've suggested but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, I have Stable Release 2.1.. What are your suggestions?
Mark1 Posted January 18, 2003 Posted January 18, 2003 I live in Ga. Georgia law requires that sales tax be charged to the customer according to the county where the goods actually excahnge hands. This means that a merchant has to charge the tax rate for the county in which the customer lives (assuming the package is delivered to his/her home address). Georgia has 159 counties. How do I: 1) install a field for the county of residence. 2) load all the different county tax rates to charge. 3) add this to the invoice. Any help would be appreciated. Mark
badjuju Posted January 18, 2003 Posted January 18, 2003 Hmm, dawn's fix is not working for me. I have created a zone for IL - added US and inserted taxable state. I know with the shipping module, you can set it up so ppl from a certain state, do not need to pay - Mdules - shipping - Shipping Zone (IL). Is there something similar for taxes? Thanks.
badjuju Posted January 18, 2003 Posted January 18, 2003 Ignore my last post. Here's on thing to make sure: Verify all products have the tax class set. Categories/Products - Edit Products and select tax class. Thanks again, dawn13. This now can be used to resolve issues where people purchase things like gift certificates or other items/services that do not need tax added.
