Tax display problem

Tax is being calculated and the amount displayed in the order total but the word 'Tax:' is not being displayed. So it's not obvious to the customer what this charge is for. Can you tell me where I've gone wrong?
I have checked all the language files and it all looks OK.

I have the same problem, have looked in all files I can think of containing the word tax, but can not find the problem.

Look in the Zone Definition Tax Rate and be sure that you have filled in the description ...

Hi there,

I also have the same problem that my tax is not calculated even I have all the information setup under "Location/taxes". I even refer back to the book "e-Start your web store with Zen Cart

Please help, i am out of ideal what gone wrong.

Please, please

Thank you
Mike

Hi michaelchankh,

Further to what Ajeh mentioned.

I assume you want tax calculation to be shown at the Order Confirmation screen when a customer checks out. If that is the case, you can try these steps to narrow down the problem.

First make sure your product has a non-empty Tax Class field when you created the product.

Next, go to Configuration > My Store and set Display Prices with Tax to true and Sales Tax Display Status to 1.

Finally, at the Configuration > My Store screen, check that the Basis of Product Tax and Basis of Shipping Tax will trigger tax calculation for the customer according to your preferences.

Hi

I was having the same problem but thought that it was related to the
'VAT-mod for european companies', apparently not.

Anyway Ajeh's solution seems to do the trick

But...

What about a multilingual shop??

I figured it was to take it's value from the file:
"includes\languages\english\modules\order_total\ot_tax.php"

define('MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_TAX_TITLE', 'Tax');

Making sure the description was not left blank fixed the problem for me! :)
