Tax issue

[starsec]

Hi,

I'm having a big headache with tax configs.. I'd like to have no tax showing on items when users browse then, when it adds to cart, the tax is added. Currently I can only get it to show tax when you browse and no tax in the cart.. how do i flip this around?

I hope someone can help..

This is what I found..

United States

The following is an example of how to set up taxes in the US so that no customers pay any tax except the residents of certain US states.

Let’s say that only residents of Pennsylvania, California, and Texas have to pay a 5% sales tax.

1. In Back Office >> Shipping >> Zones, you create a Zone, “USA”.
2. In Back Office >> Shipping >> Countries, you create a country, “USA”, assign it to the “USA” Zone, and for the field Contains states you indicate Yes.
3. In Back Office >> Shipping >> States, you create the US states and you assign them to the country “USA”. For each, in the Tax behavior field, you indicate Product tax — except Pennsylvania, California, and Texas, for which you indicate State tax.
4. In Back Office >> Payment >> Taxes, you create one tax rate, 5%, for which you mark only the Pennsylvania, California, and Texas checkboxes.
5. For each product in your catalog, select “No tax” in the Tax drop-down list.


I'm not sure what's the tax regulation in other states but I'm sure it's pretty similar everywhere.
I'm setting up my state as the one where customers have to pay tax.
All the others are no tax included.

The only thing is on the product detail page it says tax excl.

Hope this helps!
