Tax amount excluded from total amount transferred to Paypal

I have set-up the tax and shipping in Zen-Cart (ZC). I am using a Paypal IPN. When I go through the checkout ZC adds the correct tax and shipping. I have price breaks on shipping which are dependant on the order amount. When I am transferred to Paypal to make the actual payment the Total amount is transferred (Goods and shipping) less the Tax amount.

Does this help?

Spoke to the person setting up my shopping cart and he said that "this has already been done on the PayPal file". I spoke to Paypal support and they say that there must be an error in the format - thats the reason the tax amount is not being accepted by Paypal.

Perhaps the person setting up your cart can turn on the PayPal debug logging and figure out what's being transmitted incorrectly.

Thanks Vin

The other debug logs related to PayPal_Action_xxxx and PayPal_CURL and PayPal_Debug_ will also show how the information being sent to PayPal was calculated.

If the fix mentioned in the link I posted earlier has been implemented, then the tax problem is likely related to address/zone computation problems.

This may not be a convenient suggestion, but ... v1.3.8 has many PayPal updates in it ... perhaps testing on a fresh v1.3.8 install in another folder+database might tell you whether the problem follows you there or not.

Here is one of paypal action. The above solution is already implemented. The paypal page shows total amount before paying. Once customer pays the taxes are not applied and the customer is charged after taxes. But paypal total before payment shows total with taxes. I wll post the rest of the debug. If you see anything obvious let me know. Thanks in advance.

It seems that it's not finding any tax match, and is thus not assessing tax on the order.```

I guess my next question is ... why are you processing in CAD on a customer ordering with a Michigan address? And are you set up to collect tax on Michigan sales?

Well no actually the address returned was my MI address. The address send was a canadian address. But same thing happens if even both addresses are same.

How are you getting to PayPal?

Are you clicking the orange Express Checkout button, or choosing "PayPal" from the checkout_payment screen, and then going to PayPal after clicking Continue on the Confirmation screen?

Also, is this happening "before" or "after" logging in to your store account?

Getting to paypal after clicking on paypal express payment option on step 2 of 3 of order checkout. The customer is taken to payapl after confirmation of order. Customer has to create an account with store for that.
