Thanks Jacob.v4ll

Was unaware of Taxcloud support thread. Will check it out. Hopefully some of the fixes we worked out are included in the update.

Returning this forum back to Local Sales Tax Mod support

Re: Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

Running LTM 2.5 on 1.3.9h. I have successfully installed and used LTM on other sites with no issues. I am using a custom template with no other 3rd party modules.

On checkout, it seems that all possible taxes are being applied rather than just the correct one for zipcode.

Taxing based on: Shipping
Taxing For Zone: 26
Local Tax For: 67601
Total Tax =


Tax on shipping: 0.1575
Total Tax =


Tax on shipping: 0.17875
Total Tax =


Tax on shipping: 0.145
Total Tax = 

That goes on for several dozen lines in the debug text. The same thing repeats in the actual invoice. The Sales: $1.13 thing following this repeats just as long, and the end cost being over $800 for a $15 item.

$1.13
Sales:

$1.13
Sales:

$832.74

I can supply more info if needed along with a link to the site.

Re: Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

I have just followed the instructions and installed the Local Sales Tax Mod. However after installing I do not see the option I expect under Locations/Taxes => Local Taxes in the Admin interface. Please see the attached screen grab local_tax_screen.jpg. How would it be best to debug this issue?

Zencart is at 1.3.9f

Local Tax Mod is 2.5

Thanks Martin

Re: Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

Never mind!
I figured it out.
The admin dir had been renamed so the code that should have been installed had not really been installed.

Re: Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

LadyG, are you feeling confident about the newest zip you posted? I see that you haven't uploaded it yet to the contribs section.

I'm presently working on a site that after upgrading from 1.3.9d to h, the local sales tax mod stopped working. Looks like they were using your 2.5.1 version.

My assigned task is to figure out why.

I'm having the same issue - what did you do to make it work?? - my admin directory is renamed like everyone elses - but I don't see anywhere to modify the code that applies to the admin directory

Thanks

Re: Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

I installed Zen Cart v. 1.3.9h, my host is ipage.com, I am using php v5. I am having a lot of trouble installing the local sales tax mod. Basically it has some folders to upload, so I did that using filezilla. Specifically, I uploaded the "includes" and the "admin" folder to the "zencart" folder. I installed the sql patch. I was able to copy and paste the text and I put a semicolon at the end of it and Zen Cart took it. In the Zen Cart admin page I go to "modules -> order total" and a module called "local sales taxes" shows up, and I installed it. The problem is, when I go to "locations/taxes" there's supposed to be a menu item called "local sales taxes" for me to edit, but there's no "local sales taxes." I've tried everything I can think of, reinstalling the sql patch, I tried installing different versions of the local sales tax mod, (versions 2.5, 2.4, 2.2 and 2.0a), and completely removing the zen cart folder and reinstalling zen cart. Nothing I try will give me that "local sales taxes" category. I've spent so much time on it and it's extremely frustrating. I configured everything else about Zen Cart the way I want it, but I can't for the life of me get this mod working. Please help.

P.S.: I also tried installing the "state sales tax lookup addon" that uses taxcloud and it has the same problem, when I go to "modules -> order total" there are taxcloud modules to install, but there are no new menu items under "locations/taxes." I don't know what the issue is.

Re: Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

Hello,

A client just sent me this question. Wondering if anyone else knows how to fix it?

"Also, another issue we noticed today was that the email that was sent to a customer that ordered a product did not have the sales tax included on the email. It was correct in the admin area and I’m sure when the person checked out it was correct but the emailed total was not. Do you know if we need to change anything else to get the correct total in the email?"

Re: Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

I have a test store and database set up, so I backed everything up and tried to install v2.5 on ZenCart v1.5. Local Sales Tax shows up under the Order Total module, but it does not show up under the Locations/Taxes tab. Should I assume that v2.5 does NOT work with ZenCart 1.5?

Re: Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

I'm about to pull my hair out! I just installed this mod and cannot get it to calculate properly. I have attached a screenshot of my checkout screen with the debug option enables. The screenshot explains it all... the local tax is not being applied to shipping (yes, the tax rate option "Apply this tax to shipping charges?" is set to True) AND my total is completely wrong. I have no idea where its getting that number from.

ANY HELP is appreciated. I really need this mod to work.

Thanks!

An update to my situation.... I finally got the order total to display correctly. it is actually adding in the shipping tax now and including it in the order total but it is still not reflected on the local tax rate line in checkout... that line only displays the tax of the subtotal.

How I fixed the order total:

i edited includes/modules/order_total/ot_local_sales_taxes.php

i edited this code:

				if($apply_tax_to_shipping){
					  $shipping_tax = zen_calculate_tax($order->info['shipping_cost'], $taxrec['tax']);
					  $order->info['shipping_tax'] += $shipping_tax;

and removed the "+" sign from the last line so it reads as:

$order->info['shipping_tax'] = $shipping_tax;

i hope that + sign wasnt important... all i know is that removing it made my order total correct.

unfortunately, i still cant figure out how to get the shipping tax to be reflected in the local tax rate.

FYI, there is an updated version of TaxCloud that works with v1.5.

Great work, how do you report your tax based on the county the merchandise is delivered? I have broken down Florida by counties, but I am having trouble with the results. It seems to want to calculate tax on every county after the first correct one. Do you have any thoughts?

Sub-Total: $29.97
United States Postal Service (Priority Mail (2 - 3 days)): $5.20
FL-Alachua County: $0.00
FL-Baker County: $0.00
FL-Bay County: $0.00
FL-Bradford County:$0.00
FL-Brevard County:$0.00
FL-Broward County: $1.80
FL-Calhoun County: $1.80
FL-Charlotte County: $1.80
Repeats for each County Defined
….
Total: $170.00

Re: Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

Florida has 67 Counties, Which have various tax rates. Tax is calcualted based on the total amount of the order including shipping. Tax is to be determined and reported based on the county it is delivered to. Sales Tax Module Version 1.39, Zen Cart 1.39. I created entries for each county and associated with each county the coreesponding zip codes and tax rates. I have set the Shipping to true.

I am having trouble with the results. It seems to want to calculate tax on every county after the first correct one.The example below tax should be calcualted at 6%. In addition sales tax is not being calcualted on the Shipping.

Do You have any thought?

Sub-Total: $29.97

FL-Alachua County: $0.00

FL-Broward County: $1.80

Re: Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

After 8 hours of tweeking, I am a little closer. Tax is applied to the shipping, and appears to be in the total, However, the numbers displayed do not add up.

Taxing based on: Shipping
Taxing For Zone: 195
Local Tax For:
Confer LAPT30- $72.4:
FL-Broward County - 4.344 @ 6.00
76.744
FL-Broward CountyTotal Tax = 4.344

Tax on shipping: 1.2558

$72.40 Sub-Total:

$20.93 United Parcel Service (Ground):

$4.34 FL-Broward County: (Does Not Include Shipping)

$98.93 Tax on Shipping appears to be included)

Any Thoughts on where to go would be appreciated?

Thanks

Re: Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

I am new to Zen Cart, I came to it based on the need to find a local sales tax solution, which brought me here. I've installed zen cart 1.5 and attempted to install this local sales tax mod, but at the point where I'm uploading the sql file, I get a 'failed' error message at the top and nothing else.

Does this not work with 1.5? If not, will it sometime soon?

I appreciate anyone's time to respond.
