Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

[suzz]

I filled did an import from excel as an csv to the sql so that i could have separate lines for each city, hopefully easier for my client to update, and it seems to have populated the list in the same way as if I had entered in the values line by line.

when i install the module, however, I'm getting $0 as the sales tax.

I've attached an image, am i doing something wrong?

Hi Everyone,

I have attached a screenshot where PayPal IPN shows "Surcharge" on the line it should say "TAX" after installing "Local Sales Tax Modules for Zen Cart 1.3.9"

I'm running 1.3.9h and I adjusted the order and everything else that would seem obvious. In fact I have the actual zen cart tax module turned off, as I did input all of the 1777 cities in California and all in their respective tax bracket so that the mod can stand on it's own.
(It would always show "Surcharge" even with the ZenCart Tax module turned on)

Does anyone have the same problem or any suggestions?....it would be greatly appreciated.

I figured I'll post this issue once more.
Three is a charm, if anyone has any suggestions please advise.

Thanks

If I remember correctly the paypal surcharge shows up sometimes when something gets passed to paypal that it doesnt know what to do with it.
I havent heard of this happening before with the local tax mod, do you have any other mods installed?

Hello LadyHLG,

Thanks for writing.

I have other mods installed but not related to the Taxes or checkout in any way.

When I disactivate the Tax Mod and reactivate the regular built-in Tax module PayPal does read "Tax".

When I have both tax modules on and showing in PayPal, the built-in one reads "Tax" the other module still reads "Surcharge" right underneath.
Hope it makes sense how I described it.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks.

willy12,
Do you have the taxes set to show separately or combined?

Hi LadyHLG,

It is set to separate.
In fact the ZenCart built in Tax module is turned off and the "Local Sales Tax Mod" is the only one handling all the Taxes since I did input all California States.


Thank you.

Try setting it to combine and see what happens.

My shop is located in Wisconsin where sales tax is charged on shipping. I am using the local sales tax mod and have configured each sales tax id to indicate that sales tax is charged on shipping. Recently, a customer who lives in a zipcode that does NOT have an additional county or local tax purchased a product, but the site did not charge sales tax on the shipping charge. I cannot seem to find where to indicate that sales tax is charged on shipping for the base state sales tax.

Steve,
If you are applying just a regular zone tax and want to apply sales tax to shipping then you need to be sure you have configured the tax on shipping option in the Configuration -> My Store, then you need to go into the options for whatever shipping module(s) you are using and set it to add tax.

Hope that helps.

Thank you very much. I was looking under the tax module, not the shipping module.
