Not Adding VAT

Hi All,

I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8. Was installed about a year ok.
I have installed no add ons.
I have looked through the FAQ for a few weeks now and have got no where.
The problem started a few weeks ago and nothing was changed.
The VAT is not adding to any orders.

I have the following settings -
country - United Kingdom
Zone - UK
Tax Class - Taxbale Goods
Tax Rate - 17.5% ( with description )

I have been through all the faqs and loads of other peoples posts and can't figure what is wrong. I get the following

    Sub-Total: £217.37

Unit (Best Way): £11.00

    Sales Tax: £0.00

                  : £0.00

Total: £228.37

any help please?

Cheers

any help please? I am desperate

iv got the same problem, just got my first sale
and noticed, its not applied VAT to the sale?
iv checked my tax rates, zones, zone defs etc...all set....so why did it not apply tax :S

never mind, fixed this :D

spid3r1987:

never mind, fixed this :D

Can you please tell me how you resolved this problem?
I am experiencing the same problem with Vat not showing during check out.

Nevermind I got is sorted out as well :D

Under tax classes I edited it now to say:
Tax Class Title:
Taxable Goods

Description:
I just put VAT

(Before this, under description I had 14% VAT)

I also went to Zone Definitions now and whereas before I had all the 9 Provinces in South Africa listed there (simply because I did not know what else to put there...lol),
I now also created a new definition (10th one) Zone with South Africa listed under the Country heading, like I did with the other 9, but instead of adding a province as a "zone",
I now placed "All Zones" under the zone heading.

This seems to have sorted out the VAT problem and now its appearing on checkout.
