Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

Do you have a 4% tax defined for the NY State zone?

Correct. New York has a zone defined with the 4% tax rate.

Again, I can disable the Local Sales Tax and the 4% tax rate is applied. But if I enable LST, the 4% tax setting is ignored.

Didn't you modify Squash Taxes to include state tax? Maybe check that logic or even uninstall Squash Taxes.

Possibly useful data point: I have ZC 2.1.0 + Latest Local Sales Tax, my LST rates *do* include State tax, but I have another state which is also taxed that does not use LST. Ordering with delivery to that state works as expected, with the native Zen Cart sales tax being applied properly.

I did have those changes but I reverted all of those changes to barebones ZC 2.1.0 files. Trying to track down what else could I have changed.

Nope, it's (again) my bad. The current implementation of the encapsulated version "assumes" (falsely, obviously) that the state's base tax-rate is baked into the local sales tax rates.

An update is forthcoming.

While you're at it, there is one additional "old version" file that could be deleted by the upgrader, the admin version of "local_sales_taxes.php". You currently have it as local_sales_tax.php on line 80 of the ScriptedInstaller.php.

I think that the local taxes are not applied for store pickup orders. When notify_order_cart_external_tax_rate_lookup() is called, $taxZoneId is the shipping address zone_id, not the store's zone_id. I do have "Store Pickup Tax Basis" in the local sales tax config set to the zone of the store.

I have posted a possible fix in the repo for this plugin's Issues section.
