Tax Description Repeating

[AllegraGatto]

Junkie,

This is the normal sales tax charged to customers who reside in the same state as my store, New Mexico. It's my understanding that I don't have to collect sales tax from customers outside of my own state. In NM, they don't call it a sales tax, they call it a gross receipts tax.

So basically, this description is what I put in for taxable goods for the state of NM. I typed the description of NM Gross Receipts Tax in admin as I was supposed to. I have checked it more than once and the description is only typed once but it still doubles itself in the shopping cart description of the tax charge.

Hi Allegra,

Ok, I see. I misread the question. You're not wanting to stop it from displaying, you just want to change the way it displays so it doesn't show up twice. Sorry for the confusion.

Please try the following:

1. Set up your Zone screen to look like this:

Zone Name:
New Mexico

Description:
New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax


2. Set up your Tax Class Screen to look like this:

Tax Class Title:
Taxable Goods

Description:
New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax for taxable products


3. Set up your Edit Tax Rate screen to look like this:

Tax Class Title:
Taxable Goods

Zone:
New Mexico

Tax Rate:
x.xxxx (use the NM tax rate reflected in decimals)

Description:
NM Gross Receipts Tax = x.xx% (include a space before and after the = and use the NM tax rate reflected as a percentage)

Priority:
1 (if this is the only tax you charge)


What should show up during check out is:
NM Gross Receipts Tax = x.xx%

Hope this helps
