I am missing something in setting up taxes and I am making a plea for help. Below are the configuration settings checklist.
I am able to assign a tax definition to Shipping and that value is taxed.
What I am struggling on is... I have ZenCart attached to a Photo Gallery (Gallery2/G2). Each photo creates a product. That all works. What I am trying to figure out is how assign a tax rate to a Category, so that each product/photo that is added to a category is automatically assigned a tax class.
I can go in to each photo, aka Product/item individually and assign a tax class and taxes are calculated during checkout. All that works A-ok. What I am struggling with is... how to assign a tax class to a Category. I have tried to nest (if that is the right word) the Photo Category under an Item Type for General Products which has a default tax rate assigned to it. I believe it is referred to as a sub-category. But it is not assigning a tax class to each new item that is created. From everything I have read, this is how to go about it.
Sooooooo... I'm missing something because from all that I have researched, this is the approach, yes? Can anyone help me with how to assign a tax class to a Category so new products assigned to that Category will acquire the tax class by default?
