Does "Product Tax" work?

[jgrasso]

I am trying to figure out if "Product Tax" works.

This is how I configured my store and products:

1) Setup a "Sales Tax" in Payment > Taxes and designated a State for that Tax
2) Assigned "Product Tax" in Shipping > States > Tax behavior for that State
3) In the tax field for each product, I assigned either "Sales Tax" (setup in Step 1) or “No Tax”.

My expectation is that for Products which have a "Sales Tax", it would be added to the Shopping Cart when a customer indicates they are shipping to that state.

But this does not seem to work for me. I have created a test registrant who resides in that state, but the "Sales Tax" is never added in the cart. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thank you for any insight.

The way taxes work in PS is that there is a product tax and a state tax. If the product is taxable, the tax will be applied to any State that you mentionned that product tax apply. The state tax is applied on every sale in that state, product tax or not. Hope that helps you.

You said "if the product is taxable"...is there a way to set it to be untaxable?
