Hi there,

It sounds like this might be what I am looking for...

The store is located in Ontario, Canada...and I need to be able to separate out the local and federal taxes in the sales report so the client can remit the appropriate amounts to the government at tax time.

Is there a quick way to change this module to allow this, or is there another solution more suitable...

I had tried the sales report with local filter, but it filters for California and I am not sure how to change that - I get an error message when I change it to Ontario in the stats_sales_report.php file.

Please help! :)

I found the answer.

I just changed shipping_state':'billing_state to delivery_state':'delivery_state in classes/sales_report.php (line 105)

and

California to Ontario (line 65) in stats_sales_report.php.

:)

I'm assuming I could use this module for NY and just change the ZIP codes?

Thanks, this is very nice. I'll check it out right away.

Just one thing, you mention "any tax that you don't collect is the responsibility of the buyer ... ", I think that's wrong, it's the other way around. You (the seller) are resposible for paying sales tax to the BOE, you are allowed, but not required, to pass this cost on to the customer, but you are the one ultimately responsible for making sales tax payments.

I just charge 8.25% for all of California. The BOE does allow this and doesn't mind, it just says if you over-collected just send it all to them. I think most companies do it this way, it's just too much of a hassle figuring it out for all counties/districts unless you only deal withing your local zone.

Does this module work with: Zen Cart 1.3.0.2

So if you do it this way, you don't need the mod rigth. I created a zone for CA and apply it to 8.20%. Does that sound right?

Does this wonderful program work with the latest version of Zen Cart V1.3.8?
