I've searched high and low and no solution so far. I am charging Missouri sales tax on purchases shipped to MO addresses. I want to charge tax on the purchase price only, and not on shipping and handling, but it does this automatically.

I'm just sure it's something simple I've missed, but I've gone over it and over it and cannot find it.

Here are my particulars:

1. What are your store settings for these set to?
Admin->Configuration->My Store
a. Country/Zone = USA/MO
b. Basis of Product Tax = shipping
c. Basis of Shipping Tax = shipping
d. Display Prices With Tax = false
e. Display Prices With Tax-Admin = false

2. What Zone Definitions have you created?
Admin->Locations/Taxes->Zones Definitions = Zone name: Missouri, Zone Description: Missouri local Sales Tax Zone

3. Inside each of those zone definitions, what country/zone combinations have been selected?
Admin->Locations/Taxes->Zones Definitions, click on "Details" button for each zone = United States/Missouri

4. What tax classes do you have?
Admin->Locations/Taxes->Tax Classes = Taxable Goods

5. What tax rates have you created?
Admin->Locations/Taxes->Tax Rates = Missouri 7.725%

6. What tax class have you associated with your products?
Admin->Catalog->Categories/Products->click on a product to edit it = Taxable Goods

7. What tax class have you associated with each of your shipping modules?
Admin->Modules->Shipping = Taxable Goods

Thank you,
