State tax based on ship or bill to address?

[scott_see]

Hi,

I've got a client's that's interested in Zen Cart, but they insist that tax should only be charged if the customer's bill to address is CA, and not if the customer's ship to address is CA and the bill to address is NOT CA.

They get people buying stuff to be shipped to a freight forwarder in LA, sometimes.

Does anyone know how Zen Cart handles this?

Thanks,

Zen Cart can be configured to charge taxes to only certain states, and different tax rates for different states if required. This is done by configuring tax zones.

Okay, that makes sense. But if someone has a different ship to address from their bill to address, do you know which one gets used to figure whether or not state taxes are charged?

My client is in CA.

See the Admin> Configuration> My Store for the Tax Basis - it can be based on the Customer's Shipping address, Customer's Billing address or the store zone matching either of those fields.
