Tax amount is not added to "Total Amount"

Please show me how to make the tax amount added to total amount when checking out. I see the tax amount showed, but it is not added to the total amount. Thanks so much for your help.

Re: Tax amount is not added to "Total Amount"

More specifically, the check-out page displayed like this:

Sub-Total: $41.37

Free Shipping Options (Free Shipping): $0.00

Sale Tax 7%: $2.71

Total: $41.37

Please tell me why the sale tax ammount is not added to "Total". Thanks so much for help and suggestion.

Re: Tax amount is not added to "Total Amount"

Hi All,

I set up my tax rate and everything, and I see it work and display correctly. One thing that makes me confusing is that the Tax Amount is not added to the Total Amount when checking out. Please tell and show me what I should do to correct and make this thing work out. Thanks so much for your help andn thoughts.

To the best of my knowledge, the Total(s) displayed are tax inclusive, and the tax displayed shows how much of the total is the tax components.

In other words, what you are really seeing is:

Sub-Total: $38.66 (excluding tax)
Sale Tax 7%: $ 2.71

Total: $41.37 (including tax)

Re: Tax amount is not added to "Total Amount"

Hi Rod,

You are right. Thank you!

Can you please tell me how to make the sub-total and tax showed separately? The Total is the sum of those. The reason I want them to stand alone is because I want to show our real product price without tax, and the product price with tax when checking out. Thanks so much for your help.

Re: Tax amount is not added to "Total Amount"

Hi Rod,

I just found out the problem. All I have to do is to turn "Display price with tax" to "False". Thanks again, Rod.
