How to setup Taxes & Calculation Rules

[mrmillmill]

Hi I love virtumeart 2.0.2 and thanks again to all the developers for all that you do! I wanted to know if tax rates are based off of the customers location or my clients shipping and housing location? For instance, if my client is shipping products from burbank california and someone from florida orders a box of product would the customer be charged taxes based off my clients location or the customers location? Also, how do I find shipping rates and set them up in virturemart 2.0.2 for different countries? Is this a daunting task? Thanks in advance

Mr Millmill,

Tax rates and shipping costs are different in every country and thus you really should go to your post office - take a product and find how much it costs to ship anywhere.

* I'm sure taxes are based upon your financial instutions thus - ring the office of taxation, fair trading or governemt tax dep to see what tax rates on selling goods is across a variety of states.

* Only you can really find this out as Forum members come from all over the world. In Australia we pay one tax only 10%. on Goods and services. " many just state that the final price includes the tax and actually do not include a % anywhere.

best of luck
