Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

[andrewj70]

I have set up local sales tax for Washington State however the local city tax does not appear or calculate on orders. I set this up over two years ago and it's never worked. Everything appears to be set up properly except there is no Order Total Module for Local Tax. Here are some details:

version: v1.3.9e
Local Sales Tax set up by city name for example: Arlington;Bainbridge Island;Bellevue;Black Diamond;Bremerton is applied to the zone "Washington", tax rate 2.1 and search field set to "City". The tax class is ""Taxable Goods".
Products are all set to tax class, "Taxable Goods".

Thanks for any help you can provide.

No Order Total Module = Not Fully Installed = Will Not Work. Order Total Module Not Enabled = Will Not Work.

You will want to start by removing the more than two year old version of this module if partially installed. The next step would be to download the current version of this module and read the included instructions and examples. After reviewing all of the included documentation, install the current version of this module. When done, re-configure local sales taxes for Washington State.

How do I make actual tax % show up upon check out? It calculates everything correctly, but I'd like it to show tax rate to the customer as well.

If everything is installed and configured, than this information will be displayed during checkout on step 2 of 3 in the order totals block.
Do you see anything in this area for the tax rates?

Hello Zenners :)
I was hoping someone can help me here or lead me to a page where the solution might be located.

I have installed this module and it works perfectly, except the local tax is not defined as to what the price is on the 'order total'

I have defined that the local tax be 8%.
I buy $100 worth of stuff and the local sales tax is calculated to be $8.

Great so far, however, (as depicted in the photo) there is nothing that let's the user know what the $8 is they are being charged.
How can I define it to be 'Local Sales Tax' instead of the blank that appears there? I'm really a novice here trying to learn to be a zenner



Any help would be highly appreciated. thanks

Looks like you're missing a language define. Check your install for a missing file.

Thanks for the reply. But I reinstalled everything again, however I am having no luck.
How do I check for missing install files, btw?

It Looks like you did not completely setup the "Location / Taxes" selections, the information you point to is from these entries, see attached images.

The overall "Tax Rates" Description field is used on the form where you point.


If you need to setup "Local Sales Taxes" this next image may help, again the Tax Description field will show on the form in the area you point.
