We are using the newest version of VirtueMart and have an issue with sales tax.  The shop is applying sales tax to an order until a person puts in their shipping address.  We don't want it to apply tax until the shipping address has been entered.  Is there a way to change this as it is very confusing to shoppers and our client is not happy with this.  Thanks.

Yes I want that too...

I want the tax to be calculated based on the shopper address... I have made 2 different tax rules that apply in different parts of the country.
NEED help asap.

Just a thought,

I have made several shops with the same products , different states, different countries, : I did this with VM1 - to get the same effect you are asking for. (they had very few products)

In one shop - I had two site - two different folders - the home link had pick where you are from. ( It just had two countries.)

Or you make the varients like price options - for different states.

Others I set paypal to determine the final price for tax based upon the address - ( this was stated clearly on the front page of the shop) that some tax varients will be added by paypal depending on state taxes and shipping.

* Not a bad option for the core team to consider - add your zip code first and process changes price.

To fix this, go the the product that your tax rule should affect, and under the first tab [Product Information], under[Pricing rules overrides], you should set [Tax] to [apply no rule] ..

Save the product and it should work!

???
that is just turning off the taxes -

The issues in this post applies to a different tax ( depending on the zip code of the buyer)?
And not just just his country - I'm sure that a the issue is being looked at as I have seen quite a few posts regarding
some states having state and federal taxes on sales of goods from the sellers end - here you want a tax on the buyers end.
maybe put  your request in features and bugs - for a development idea. I know shipping is done is the same manner so should not be too difficult ( when a plugin is developed)

saw something in a post just now - not sure about the real relevance but close to an option you might think about .
