    Default How do I set up taxing on shipping for only one state?

    I am located in NJ, so I have to charge sales tax only on orders from my own state. However, I also have to charge tax on shipping, but again, only for orders from my home state.

    I know how to tax orders just from my own state, and how to set shipping to taxable, but how do I set it so that only orders being shipped to NJ are taxed, and not from anywhere else?

    Your shipping module should have a setting for the Tax Class to use and that will apply the tax when needed ...

    Thanks. But if I choose TAXABLE GOODS, that will include taxes for all locations, and if I choose NON TAXABLE GOODS, that won't charge taxes for all locations, including New Jersey. How would I create it so that it can choose taxes for one zone (New Jersey) and not any others?

    Have you tried setting the Tax on the shipping module to Taxable Goods to see what the Tax is for New Jersey on the checkout vs other states?

    What shipping module(s) do you have installed?

    I have Zone Rates setup only for Shipping. But wait...I think maybe I'm just confusing myself. If I only have New Jersey set at 7% for taxable goods, anywhere else it ships to, unless I have created a zone definition for them, the tax will show up as 0, correct?

    If so, I think everything is ok. I haven't added items yet to test it out, as I want to get everything set up first. I think....I just overthought (or underthought) the shipping/taxing.

    You should not have to make any changes other than to edit the shipping module and set the Tax to Taxable Goods ... it will figure out only to charge tax on shipping if the shipping address is New Jersey ...

    I'm having the same problem. I have Virginia as the only taxable zone, but customers from other states are being charge sales tax as well. I've taken the site down for maintenance until this is straightened out. Everything else seems to be working great.

    Never mind, I figured it out. I thought that when I set up Virginia as the name of a zone that it didn't need any other specification. But I had to set the zone Details to define that the zone was for the state of Virginia within the US. Added that, problem fixed.
