Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

The version 2.5.3 install script calls for a file that's not present in the zip package:

Admin/includes/languages/english/stats_sales_tax_totals.php

The version 2.5.3 install script calls for a file that's not present in the zip package:

Admin/includes/languages/english/stats_sales_tax_totals.php

I'm having this issue as well.

To fix the error you can edit the file "\1_new_files\your_admin_folder\includes\init_includes\init_local_sales_taxes_install.php".
On (or about) line 43 Delete the line:

  DIR_FS_ADMIN . DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . 'english/stats_sales_tax_totals.php',

Re-upload this file and it should work.
Remember please, always test on a development machine prior to adding or updating mods on your production server.

This extra entry was inadvertently left in the installation script. it is related to the SalesTaxReportv2.1 mod, not currently part of the local_sales_tax mod.
The SalesTaxReportv2.1 is a standalone mod at this time.

The referenced file was part of a BETA version and the check was accidentally left in the final release. :blush:

A new version "2.5.3a" has been uploaded and will hopefully be available in the next couple days.

In the meantime you can either comment out or remove line 43 of "/your_admin_folder/includes/init_includes/init_local_sales_taxes_install.php". When removed the block starting at line 35 should look like the following:

	// Check to make sure all new files have been uploaded.
	// These are not intended to be perfect checks, just a quick 'hey you'.
	$files = array(
		DIR_FS_ADMIN . DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'extra_datafiles/local_sales_taxes.php',
		DIR_FS_ADMIN . DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'auto_loaders/config.local_sales_taxes.php',
		DIR_FS_ADMIN . DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'init_includes/init_local_sales_taxes_install.php',

		DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_MODULES . 'order_total/ot_local_sales_taxes.php'
	);

Yeah, I figured that's all it was. I've been testing it for a couple of days without any problems.

Thanks for the quick responses. And thanks for updating and maintaining this very useful plugin for 1.5x.

hello sir
thanks alot

I have applied the mod on the e-Commerce however at the moment of the checkout I only see the state tax. Didn't run into any issues with installation.
I would really appreciate any kind of help.

ZenCart v1.5.1
Local Sales Tax v.2.5.3a
PHP 5.3.23
MySql 5.5

Could be a large number of different things. Can you give a more concrete example of your customer address data (for primary / shipping / billing), your configured rule(s) expected to match the customer address data, and your store settings for tax basis?

That's the customer's information

Tax rules
FL 6%
Volusia County 3802 0.5% (which is not being displayed).

I used the FL sql script to load tax state's information.

I hope this is everything.

Thanks for your help!

What are the store settings for tax basis? (admin -> configuration -> my store)
Is the Local Sales Tax order total module installed and enabled? (admin -> modules -> order total)

The Local Sale Tax module was disabled, once enabled, it worked perfectly.

I wouldn't been able to figure that out by myself.

Thanks for your help. :clap:

Thank You for letting us know Cannot believe I forgot that step in the readme :P

I am trying to use this add on for zencart 1.51, specifically for san francisco sales tax which is higher than the California sales tax. I have it installed properly and am using these zip codes but its still not working:

94102;94103;94104;94105;94107;94108;94109;94110;94111;94112;94114;94115;94116;94117;94118;94121;94122;94123;94124;94127;94129;94130;94131;94132;94133;94134;94158

and I have it set to zipcode. Can somebody tell me if they are having trouble with their add on?

If you do not already have the zone setup, this SQL should add the San Fran 1% additional tax to the table, make sure you verify the zip codes and additional sales tax before you use this:

INSERT INTO tax_rates_local (`zone_id`, `local_fieldmatch`, `local_datamatch`, `local_tax_rate`, `local_tax_label`, `local_tax_shipping`, `local_tax_class_id`) 
VALUES
	(12, 'postcode', '94102;94103;94104;94105;94107;94108;94109;94110;94111;94112;94114;94115;94116;94 117;94118;94121;94122;94123;94124;94127;94129;94130;94131;94132;94133;94134;94158', 1.0000, 'San Francisco (1.0%)', 'true', 1);

Make sure that you have turned this mod on (see previous post) and set the other items listed in the readme file.
If this does not work we will need more info as to what is happening to make suggestions.

I overlooked a blank space in one of the zip codes "94 117" in the post above, that needs to be removed. There should not be spaces in any of the zip codes.

thank you ver much for your help, however I don't know how to implement an SQL, can you tell me how to do this?

I have activated the module in modules / order totals, and the rate is set in Locations > local sales taxes as well...

It just always picks up CA tax over the SF tax... Please let me know how I can install that SQL...

noyloza:

... It just always picks up CA tax over the SF tax...
Do you mean it is showing "California Tax" and "San Francisco" Sales Tax lines? This module will add a "tax line" for every valid tax rate which matches the tax rules defined in both Zen Cart and Local Sales Taxes ("admin" -> "locations / taxes" -> "local sales tax"). So if you have a rate defined for both "California Sales Tax" and "San Francisco Sales Tax", I would expect to see both as long as the "tax rules" are correctly defined.

noyloza:

... I don't know how to implement an SQL ...
To add, remove, or modify rules for how tax rates are applied to an order you do not need to use SQL... You can just navigate to "admin" -> "locations / taxes" -> "local sales tax" and enter the rules for your location (by zipcode or city name). Matching by "suburb" is not currently supported. Most of the "how do I do configure taxes" is outlined in the "HowTo-Example.pdf" (included in the downloadable distribution).

it only picks up CA, and never SF for a user who is based in SF and has one of the zipcodes set in the rules for the local sales tax mod. I added all of the zipcodes, set to zipcode, and use SF as the description. I'm assuming that if the mod picks up the user who is using a zip code for shipping that is one of the ones I have set to find, it will apply SF(8.75%) as the tax instead of CA (8.25%). Right now however, it is only picking up CA for a user who is using shipping in SF...
