Title: eliminate the tax displayed to guests at checkout
Post by: dsrpmedia on June 17, 2012, 22:19:06 PM
hi I`m using joomla 2.5.4 & VM 2.0.6

having a problem with the multiple tax rates - when a guest goes to the cart EVERY tax rate set up is being added to their price - they have to enter their billing information to see the correct tax rate - but very few people will bother entering their billing info if they think they are being taxed @ 60% or whatever

any suggestions on how to set the cart so that the tax only appears once a billing address has been entered?

thank you!

ok I found a fix for this -
<?php if (!empty($this->cart->BT)){ ?>
remove whatever until billing address is entered
<?php } ?>

(use in default_pricelist.php)

but really - this should be part of the core without having to hack!!!

I can `t imagine a circumstance where a client would want to see EVERY tax rate in the shop before entering their billing address

the way it is now I am going to have to re-hack this page with every update.
