    Default Sales Tax Calculated including Shipping Charge

    Hello Everyone, I searched extensively on the forum before posting this, but I'm sorry if I didn't see a post that had this answered. I am running a zen cart for a company in Seattle, and according to the State of Washington Tax Laws, the Shipping and Handling charge is subject to sales tax as well. Is there an easy way (other than hacking the php code..which i'm not opposed to doing) to have the sales tax calculated based on the (SUBTOTAL + SHIPPING CHARGE)? I.E. in our situation:
    .088 * (SUBTOTAL + SHIPPING CHARGE).

    I have been successful in getting sales tax to work for Washington Orders, however the sales tax is just based on the sub total, however, I will need it to also take into accoun the shipping charge.

    Am I misinformed that the sales tax needs to be paid on the shipping? I haven't seen anyone bring up this question. I could be mistaken, and i hope i am, but if not, and Washington is one of the only places that requires sales tax on the shipping, then i'm gonna have to make something happen.

    Thanks for any help!

    Thanks! I didn't even notice that option on the shipping modules! I'll just add them to the taxable goods and be on my way!

    Thanks, as always, for the quick help. Zen Cart rocks!

    To add shipping as a taxable item go to:
    Modules>shipping>(select method I.E UPS) >Edit> taxclass >Taxable Goods

    I am having this same issue. Shipping is not adding tax.
    Using version 1.5.5f with "auspostcode" (similar to Zones rates)

    on the "auspostcode" plugin module
    Module> Shipping> auspostcode

    Do you want to include auspostcode based shipping? True
    Calculation Method >Price
    Tax Class > Taxable Goods
    Tax Basis > Shipping

    Configuration<My Store:
    Display Prices with Tax true
    Display Prices with Tax in Admin true
    Basis of Product Tax Shipping
    Basis of Shipping Tax Shipping
    Sales Tax Display Status 1
    Show Split Tax Lines false

    Locations/Taxes<Tax Rates:
    Tax Class Title: Taxable Goods
    Zone: Australia
    Tax Rate (%): 10.0000
    Description: GST 10%
    Priority: 1

    Locations/Taxes<Zone Definitions:
    Australia
    Number of Zones: 8
    Number of Tax Rates: 1

    For example in the
    on the "auspostcode" plugin module
    Module> Shipping> auspostcode

    Zone 2 Shipping Table is set to - 10000:13.590

    On the check out shipping is showing $13.59 instead of Shipping $13.59+10% tax = $14.95

    Anyone can help please?
