    Default Prevent customer entering a county/state and avoiding tax

    I a using the zones shipping module, but at the moment just have one zone which is the UK.

    The issue I have is that it does not charge VAT.

    Issue I have no counties in the zones detail definition. so I add them. VAT seems to be charged again great........!

    But when a customer creates and account and delivery address they can enter a new county. If they do. Then VAT is not charged again.

    Why ----- because the county/state they create is not in the zone definitions for the UK



    So how can I stop them entering a new county/state and just usee the drop down. There by stopping this issue of a zone not existing and customers getting a 20% cheaper price ..... ouch that has hurt the bottom line.!!!

    In your admin, go to Configuration -> Customer Details -> State - Always display as pulldown? and set it to true
    This wil prevent customers from entering a new county/zone when there are zones available for the selected country.

    Design 75

    Thats what I thought and that is what I had set up but some how they have been able to enter there town in the state field and got away with 20% VAT. Yesterday I could enter a state. Now looking again, I must admit I cannot see how they have done it and yet the settings were as you said.


    Thank you for your help and I will keep an eye on it and see what happens.
