Making a customer tax exempt
Hi
I am a canadian seller. I have two taxes that are charged to customers. I need to make a customer exempt from one of these taxes.
Is there a mod that I can install or is there any other way to make customers exempt from 1 of the 2 taxes I charge.
Thanks,
Adam
Re: Making a customer tax exempt
Tax exempt is not built into Zen Cart on a per customer basis ...
This can be customized to add this feature ...
You might check on some searches and the downloads to see if someone hasn't attempted an add-on for this to help get you started ...

Found a Mod but it has bugs at present. I'll keep an eye out for the update

Does anyone know if the current version of that module works correctly? I couldn't quite decipher the version notes - one note seemed to say there were bugs and another note seemed to say it worked in ZC 1.3.7

I wondered the same thing. I'm working on a cart for a client who'll sell to a pretty good size US Federal agency and tax exempt is a must.

I'll let you know. I went ahead and downloaded the mod but haven't installed it yet. Hope to play with it tomorrow.

Any status updates on the tax exempt module? Is it also possible to make a client tax exempt by offering a discount?
Re: Making a customer tax exempt
The current module on tax exemption works.
Unfortunately, my last uploaded comments did not overwrite the preexisting comments. I am not able to edit the comments that are there now. It's an ugly hodge-podge, I wasn't clear on what info was needed when it was uploaded.
It works! I use it.
See my site to see how I alert customers who may be eligible for tax exempt status.

Re: Making a customer tax exempt
Thank you dbrewster,
I will be setting up ZenCart on my website tonight. My company does a lot of business with Catholic Schools and tax exempt clients are a must.
Re: Making a customer tax exempt
As dbrewster already reported, the mod does work in it's current form. I followed the directions in the install.txt file and everything works just fine. The only real issue for me is that I need to be able to give at least one customer tax exempt status for more than one state tax rate. My client is in NJ and apparently NJ and NY have a reciprocal tax agreement so they have to charge both NJ and NY state tax (not for the same order!).
They have one customer who is really a wholesale customer and therefore not subject to the tax and he drop ships to both NY and NJ, so I need to make that one customer tax exempt for both NJ and NY tax. So, I will fiddle with the mod to see if there is a way I can make it work for this exception.
But for most tax situations, this module should do the trick! Yea!
