Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

[LadyHLG]

wendyandmilo,
There are a few other setting that can effect how the mod behaves. Check you settings for how taxes are displayed (There is a new setting for combining or splitting taxes) I believe these are under Configuration -> My Store.
Also, have you checked your sort order for the mod?

Have a look and let us know if any of these setting resolve your issue.

Good Luck

I'm trying to get this to work correctly, but having some trouble. I've got it set to apply taxes based upon zip codes. There are 12 different tax rates. Under Locations/Taxes>Local Sales Taxes I've got all 12 set-up. Tax Zone is California, Apply to is postcode, Look for is the zip codes, Tax Rate is set (each is different), Tax Description is Local Tax, Tax Shipping is false and Tax Class is Taxable Goods.

The problem is that it's charging all 12 taxes to the item, not just the one based upon the shipping zip code.

Thanks!

Lady HLG,
Nothing is working.
Like you asked, I verified that the taxes are set to show up. I couldn't find where there was the option of splitting or combined so I'm not sure about that.

I've also changed the mod order several time, and nothing works.

I'm really at a loss.

wendyandmilo,
Look under Configuration -> My Store and tell me what you have for the following:
Tax Decimal Places
Basis of Product Tax Shipping
Basis of Shipping Tax Shipping
Sales Tax Display Status
Show Split Tax Lines



jeking,
Need more information, what version of the cart are you on, what version of the mod do you have? Have you tried turning on debugging? What does it show you?

Thanks LadyHLG,

Zen is v1.3.9h and the mod is 2.5

I have turned on debugging and it shows all the tax rates being applied. :-)

It's a test site but the url is zenbug.blissfulwebdesigns DOT com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=71 Maybe seeing is better than me explaining.

Thanks!

Lady HLG,
Here is My Store -> Config. I do not have an option for split tax lines. Is that another mod that I need?

Perhaps I just need to revert to a non-sales tax mod version, and re-install?

LadyHLG,

Ok so finally had some time to work this issue regarding the local taxes and the customer tax exempt and why it was working and now no local taxes show for any customer.

So on my test site I reinstalled the local taxes module without any local tax modified files for the tax exempt files. And the local taxes appear again and worked for all customers. The tax exempt customers shows the local taxes but not the normal states taxes as I thought would happen. And the normal customers showed the correct local and correct state tax.

So now the problem is to get the local taxes not to show with the tax exempt set to ALL.

Then I uploaded the two files you gave me to work with the tax exempt from the extra functions folder and the order total folder. Then the local taxes disappear from all customers again.

So I think something is not working with the check_exempt_mod() in functions_local_taxes.php:

 //check for exempt mod
  
 function check_exempt_mod(){
 // get customer exempt status 
  global $db; 
 
   if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) {
        $customers_id = $_SESSION['customer_id'];
        $customer_check = $db->Execute("select * from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = '$customers_id'");
    }
    if ($customer_check->fields['customers_tax_exempt'] = "ALL") {
        return false;
        }else{
        return true;
    }
     
 
 }

I really would love for this to work. Thanks again for such a great mod!
