Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

Just thinking here but the only thing I can come up with is the address is including the county in the state location. So when the address is verified it can't be due to more than just the state being there. Not sure though, hopefully someone can chime in. Thanks.

Well the error itself has nothing to do with the sales tax mod.

It is most likely in how you set up your counties by zones.

I have included specific instructions in section 6 of the readme.html file for version 2.3 on how to do this, but read it carefully and go slow as setting up zones can be a very confusing process.

Something I forgot to include in the readme file is that most (if not all) shipping and payment modules require a 2 digit abbreviation for your state. Anything else and it will not recognize it.
So when it is checking you address if you have "FL - JACKSON" for your zone code instead of just FL, the shipping mods will not recognize the address to return a shipping price.

The trouble is I dont know if you can have multiple zones with the same zone code which is why my instructions say not to(for a time it was not possible, but I think that may have changed). For my setup I simply added a couple of lines to the shipping mod to fix the issue, it just depends on what shipping methods you are using.

Ok, like I said I just followed the instructions in the readme file. I will see what I can change.

What do you mean you added a couple lines to the mod to fix the issue? If I change the current setup, the customer wont be able to pick the county they live in which creates the correct tax amount.

I changed the shipping mods not the sales tax mod.
Where and what all depends on what shipping method you are using.
As I said, this may not be necessary. It may be possible to have more than one zone with the same zone code now. I'm simply not sure.

Forgot to add that I am just using "per unit" shipping.

I tried to change the zone names and it lets you have more than one name the same, but when I changed the customers address it only added tax for the first zone with the two letter abbreviation.

[EAPerformanceParts]

Yes it does work now with multiple zones having the same name. It was my mistake, I used a zone I didnt have setup yet and thats why the taxes were not showing.

Thanks!

I am glad to hear things are working now.
