Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

[LadyHLG]

Jasmel,
Unfortunately, I cant tell you for sure what may or may not work. Sometimes its trial and error.
Different options will have different results.

I experimented and moved the coupon code to after the taxes and all worked as expected.

See text checkout summary:

Sub-Total : $32.85
Free Shipping Options (Free USPS First-Class Mail (Domestic or International)): $0.00
Local sales tax:$2.13
98271-8848 Local Tax 2.10%: $0.69
Discount Coupon: JMMCYBER20 : -$20.00
Total : $13.95

Is it better to give discount pre-tax or after tax? Example... lets say it was a % discount.

Hmmm... I will go this way for now. Less phone calls!

First off thanks for this mod. My taxes are totaling correctly but it is blank before the colon. I've read a few posts that said I had to fill out the description under locations/taxes-->local sales taxes and change the description there. I have done that and it still does not show up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

engagemedia,
I will need more information before I can help.
What version of the mod do you have? What version of zen are you using?

I have the Sales tax Mod installed. Tax calculates correctly by zipcode but displays all 2262 matching records. I have the NYS only table set up from the Three New York State table choices. NY ID is 194 in my setup. Not sure how to correct the display. Below is a partial copy and paste from the Step 2 page.

I'm sorry are you talking about the all of that extra output? You can turn that off, its the debugging, its under the Admin Order
Totals Local Tax Mod.

Ok...here's my problem! The module is calculating and working just fine. The problem is in the checkout process. I'm getting what looks like debugging info in the upper right of the page at the checkout page. It's also throwing off the CSS for the page.

And then when i complete the order, there is NO confirmation page, yet that similar debugging code is listed on that page. But the order is complete since I get an email notification and the card is hit.

Can anyone help?

I can supply screenshots if you need. Thanks!

Nevermind! I figured it out. In Modules > Order Total > Local Sales Tax there's a debug option. Turned it off and we're good!

I will try to get the files to you after the holiday weekend.
I have not set this up to work with the tax exempt mod yet. I wanted to be sure it works with the new version of zen before I made any modifications beyond that.

Have a good Thanksgiving Everyone!

Hi, LadyHLG,
I totally understand "haven't had time" and "paying job comes first." Thank you for the time you have been able to put toward this. I notice you sometimes have to answer the same question multiple times.

I am NOT the IT person here. I am gathering the data he needs to get sales tax up and running. We are using ZC 1.3.9d. He has downloaded the 'h' update but not gotten it up yet.

I am wondering if I have missed something. do you have the Local Sales Tax Module out for this version and I missed it? And have you yet had time to work on getting it to work with the Customer Tax Exempt module that you referenced a few posts before the one I just quoted.

I need to give the IT specific directions. Where do I find these modules if you have finished them?

Thank you,
DebraM

Hey Zenners,
I have uploaded version 2.5 of the local tax mod. When/if it is approved it can be downloaded from the addons section here.

This download will include both a full version and an upgrade, as well as compatibility files for the customer exempt mod.

PLEASE READ THE README FILE INCLUDED WITH THE MOD. I cant stress this enough!!

If you have an urgent need for the mod and can not wait for it to be added to the downloads section, please send me a PM and include an email address where you would like the mod sent to.

Finally, this version had been through limited testing, it does not overwrite any core files but as always back-up things before installing.

Happy New Year!

Hello and thank you for providing us with this.
I thought I had to start writing if else statements.

For test purposes I have read the file and followed to steps to create the following for 2 different counties:

Zone
Zone definition
Tax class
Tax rate

The one issue I have is that when I try to add a test product the "Tax Class" list show multiple choices to choose from... or
if I set one tax class all the tax rates are added up making the sales tax double the cost of the goods.

Where can I find complete info on how to set this up so when a customer logs in and wants to buy the goods from their county the correct tax rate is selected automatically?

What steps am I missing?

Thank you for your time.

Ohh and happy New Year!
