MZMT and tax calculations?
I have set up 3 zones (the store is located in Maryland) under Locations/taxes -> Zone definitions.
1) Maryland
2) Shp: US
3) Shp: CA - canada
Maryland is a Tax Zone
- Select Maryland, and click on Tax Rates.
- Tax Class Title = Taxable goods
- Zone = Maryland
- Tax rate = 5.0000%
- Description = MD TAX 5.0%
- Priority = 1
Now for MZMT under shipping, I have it setup like so:
- Geo Zone 1 = Shp: US
- Tax Class = taxable goods
- Tax Basis = store (supposedly so anything bought in the same tax zone as the store gets taxed)
- Sort order = 1
------------------
- GeoZone 1 = Shp: US
- Table Method = price
- Handling fee = 0
- Then I have my shipping rates tables 1-4
-------------------
- GeoZone 2 = Shp: Canada
everything is the same as GeoZone 1, but I add a $10 handling fee.
Now here's the problem...
When test ordering from outside the state of MD everything is fine.
When ordering from within Maryland, where the order info is the Tax is zero. When you go to the right, where shipping is added, it says MD tax 7%. It calculates the tax on shipping only but as far as I can tell it calculates it correctly at 5% of shipping. However, the tax on the merchandise is not added.
Any clues as to what's goin ong here? IT shoudl say MD tax 5% and the tax should be added to the total, but it's not.
Thanks,

Re: MZMT and tax calculations?
Nevermind... I got this sorted out. I accidentally forgot to set some of the items in the catalos' tax class to Taxable Goods. D'oh!

problems with configuring MZMT
Hi all,
I am new here and not very familiar with Zencart. I made some threads already, but unfortunately without resolving my problem and I really tried very hard and now for a long time to read me through, but somehow I don't get it.
I am going to open a shop just for the Guatemalan market, that means I won't ship outside the country for now.
The logistic company provided me a list of their zones, which I would like to configure the same way.
The Zones are devided into Local, A, B, C and D. The shipping costs depend on the weight, but at least this I understand how to do once I understand the rest.
Zone A has three cities and each city has other little villages.
Zone B has 14 cities and each city has other litlle villages, etc. in total there are 33 cities with 700 villages.
How and where can I set the shipping?
Is it in Zencart admin/LocationTaxes/ZonesDefinitions? Do I have to write down all 700 villages there? In ZonesDefinitions I can only put the country-city-code, but in my case I need country-city-village-code (the cities would be like provinces/states).
The next problem is when I go to Zencart admin/modules/shipping, which of the shipping modules do I use, is it Zone Rates? If so, there I can only enter three different Zones, but the Zones just show abbr. for countries, not states...
I am even not sure, if I have installed this so called MZMT...
I am very sorry if I explained myself so complicated (and if something is not clear, please ask me), but I really need help on that.
Thanks in advance for any kind of help.
