How to configure taxes in prestashop 1.7, how to use multiple zip code ranges,

[The Fuzzy Pineapple]

Hi. I hope this helps. I figured out a way to add multiple ranges for the taxes. 

 

For example I am located in florida. There is a 6% tax for the state and a 1.5% surtax in my specific county = 7.5%

 

So I made a new tax (1.5%) as seen here:   and named it the same as the 1st florida tax (6%) + surtax (1.5%) as seen here:  

 

So there are 2 taxes now - Florida - (6%) and Florida + Surtax (1.5%) 

 

*If you have multiple counties that you operate out of, then you will need to make a surtax for each one. (Don't have a way of getting around this, I only have one shop) Ex. Florida (6%), (county) surtax (1.5%), (county 2) surtax (0.5%), etc.

 

Next I went to tax rules and selected the florida tax (6%) and configured it as seen here:   . I then renamed it so I would know that the new florida sales tax also has a surtax added for specific zipcodes as seen here: 

 

The configuration is as follows (first set everything to combine then change the state tax back to "this tax only")

 

 

Florida - do not enter zipcodes - combine- 6%

Florida - zipcode range - combine - 1.5% (surtax)

Florida - new zipcode that is not in the range - combine - 1.5% (surtax)

Florida - different zipcode that might be a different range- combine - 1.5% (surtax)

 

Finally change the first Florida (the state tax that applies to the entire state) to "this tax only"

As follows:

 

Florida - do not enter zipcodes - this tax only - 6%

Florida - zipcode range - combine - 1.5% (surtax)

Florida - new zipcode that is not in the range - combine - 1.5% (surtax)

Florida - different zipcode that might be a different range- combine - 1.5% (surtax)

Done!

 

Now if someone is in the state of Florida but not in the county they will only be charged the state tax (6%) and if someone is in the specified county/zipcodes they will be charged the state tax and surtax (7.5%).
