challenged with showing tax

[makevalue]

I am using VirtueMart 2.0.8a
Joomla! 2.5.6 Stable
php version 5.3.13
Apache/2.2.22

I have attached a screen shot of the config panel.  No sales tax is added.  I want 6% for all states.

What am I missing?  I am using one shopper group as a default and the settings in that group match the shop settings.  If I do not log in and go to the cart, sales tax is not applied.

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

In case you place taxes be selecting states then until you login or edit your payment/shipment details on checkout vm doesn't know the state of the user that browse the web site because that user surf as guest. So you have to check you calculation rule for that tax.

Under VM BE go to Product -> Taxes & Calculation Rules -> select your rule with 6% taxes. There you will see:

Shopper groups: if you select default then the user must login to your site to able to see the taxes, you have to select anonymous or leave it empty at all (default group registered users, anonymous are the guest users).
Crountry/State: If you select country/states then only when a guest user edit and apply the necessary information at checkout under billing/shipping information then will apply the taxes.

If your 6% tax rules applies to everyone then you should leave empty the shopper group and country states.


Hope helps you out.

I can see it in your image _ has nothing to do with showing taxes

yes - don't use 'default group' anywhere in products (leave blank) but set the tax - everybody sees it.
