Hi jasmel,

Please check out my previous posts to get a firm grasp of what I have implemented with my site:

For Washington State, I just kept the zone id the same = 62.
The rate should be 6.5%.
The local sales tax rate is added on top of the state tax rate.

Hope this helps.

Using with 1.3.8

Installed fine, sql mods also ok, when I go to put in my first tax rate, the country dropdown is empty and thus the zone dropdown is empty.. Any thoughts???

I got around my dropdown problem by directly importing my zip data to the backend. On my checkout screens it shows the zip before the description of each tax. How can I get rid of the zip being displayed?

Thanks

The drop-down list is supposed to be pulling directly from your countries list. If its not working then it could be a sign of some sort of problem, its almost impossible to say why without more info.

To remove the zip code from the output you will need to edit some lines in the following file:
includes\modules\order_total\ot_local_sales_taxes.php

At about line 204 look for the following:

			 
//next we define the text used to describe the tax on the invoice 
//to use only the rule label uncomment the following
$ot_local_sales_taxes_rate_description = $ot_local_sales_taxes_rate_description . " " .$myfield;

//to see the specific tax area with label uncomment the follwing
$ot_local_sales_taxes_rate_description = $ot_local_sales_taxes_rate_description . " " . $taxlabel;

You need to comment out the 3rd or 5th lines as you like it.
(if you arent familiar with php to comment out the lines you simple put the // at the start of the line).

Thanks, That worked..

I have all my countries deleted from the countries table except the US and Canada.. Can't figure out why that would be a problem.

[LadyHLG]

Having only those two countries shouldnt matter. But again its hard to guess at what could be happening.
Are you getting any kind of errors?

No errors, Working fine since I did an import of the data directly to the table without using the admin.

[LadyHLG]

Can you edit the data from the admin?

It still shows the country dropdown as blank but the zone is there if I edit one.

[LadyHLG]

Very strange. I'm stumped as to what it might be.
I think I would have to see how its working to figure it out.
