Help! Accountant on my back regarding charging VAT on shipping!

Hello Zenners,

I'm trying to figure how to get Zen-Cart to charge VAT on shipping. At the moment the automatically generated Zen-Cart invoice doesn't charge VAT on shipping it only charges VAT on goods. How can I get the system to charge the VAT on shipping? My accountant says we need to charge VAT on shipping even though its not actually a product!

Any help would be appreciated!

Each shipping module has a setting to apply VAT (Sales Tax) to shipping. If you open up a shipping mod to EDIT, then you will see an option to apply a Tax Class to that shipping mod.
