Title: tax for all states but it only shows one state tax
Post by: jasonbondone on June 09, 2012, 17:56:09 PM
I have tax set up for every state but when i pick select all options under the Pricing rules overrides in product information it always goes to the last tax state I added its supposed to show all taxes listed not just one. same way under Product Categories and Shopper Group you can pick select all options and it shows everything

plus i DON'T want the total showing the tax included until its check out time why does it show even though it doesn't know where the shippers is located.

I'm having a similar issue with sales tax showing for shoppers before they put in an address that I posted about here:

But I just wanted to offer a heads up--if you are in the US, you generally only collect sales tax for states you have a business nexus in, not all states, unless you have voluntarily registered in all US states with sales tax to collect and remit their sales tax for orders shipped to those states.

You pay income tax on all profits, you should work that into your business overhead.   Sales tax is a totally separate type of tax that is only at the state level.  It is a tax on the buyers, not on the sellers.  You handle the money on the state's behalf, it's just a pass-through.
