Local Sales Tax Mod (with admin!) for testing

[LadyHLG]

BassFace,

Sorry I accidentally posted before I was finished typing!! My bad...


1. Create a zone definition for CO.
Don't forget to add the details to the definition after you have created it.

2. Create two tax classes, one for wine and one for other taxable goods.
Example 1: Taxable Goods
Example 2: Taxable Wine Goods

You will then need to reassign all products to their correct tax class.

3. Next create two new taxes rates. (These are NOT local tax rates!)
Example 1:
Tax Class Title: Taxable Goods
Zone: Colorado
Tax Rate (%): 4.1
Description: State Sales Tax
Priority:0

Example 2:
Tax Class Title: Taxable Wine Goods
Zone: Colorado
Tax Rate (%): 4.1
Description: State Wine Tax
Priority:0


4. Create two new local sales taxes for the City of Denver:
Example 1:
Country: United States
Zone:Colorado
Tax Rate (%): 3.672
Search Field:City
Search Data: Denver
Description: Denver Sales Tax
Apply this tax to shipping charges? False or True ?? - you decide
Tax Class:Taxable Goods

Example 2:
Country: United States
Zone:Colorado
Tax Rate (%): 4
Search Field:City
Search Data: Denver
Description: Denver Wine Tax
Apply this tax to shipping charges? False or True ?? - you decide
Tax Class: Taxable Wine Goods

I am assuming that the state charges 4.1% and the city of Denver charges an additional 4% to reach the 8.1% wine sales tax right? If not then the rates are wrong but the set up should be the same.

Thank you sooo much!!! That appears to be working perfectly! I made a few test users, one that lives in Denver and one outside of Denver. I set the Local Sales tax MOD to match on the City name, and it calculated the taxes properly for both customers.

I have been dreading trying to figure that out - you have made my day!!! This should become part of the ZenCart core, and an example like you just gave should be in the 'manual'!!

Thanks again,
Will
