Hi,

I have read and read and tried an tried but juts cant get this to work.

I have added a Zone and VAT of 17.5 for UK ( its the only place i want to ship to )

However the VAT DOESNT add to the total.

I will give Zen or who ever helps me here an instant Paypal of $30.

John.

You have your store set to "Always Display Prices With Tax" ... and thus, your sub-total *already* includes the tax.
Your VAT line is *only* telling you how much tax "is included" in the prices shown.

To add additional clarity for your customers, you could change the description associated with the tax rate (ie: UK VAT) to be "UK VAT 17.5% included in prices:"

And/or you could optionally change the sort-order (Admin->Modules->Order Total) of the ot_tax module to be greater than the ot_total module, thus causing it to appear below the final total ... this may or may not be confusing, so think about your customers carefully before doing that.
