It's okay for it to be 0, since a state was not specified, and the tax calcs work on the Zone being defined as "New Zealand - All Zones", meaning all the zone tax calculator refers to is the country, and not the state/province portion.
Point taken, resetting my test shop the same way you did does work and does display the tax at ckeckout time. One of the settings I had must have had some weird effect.
Thanks heaps for your help. It's all good now.

One more question if I may. As I said before we do not use ANY shipping option at this time. We work shipping out at packing time and then when we invoice. Now is there a way of NOT having any of the shipping options installed? At the moment if I uninstall them I can not proceed beyond step 1 of the checkout path. In desperation I installed the least intrusive: store pickup but it's not really satisfactory.

Regards
Pierrick
