setting up tax in version 1.4 rc1

[kv4356t]

I had setup a shop with version 1.3.6 and had the taxes working fine , i just never put the shop up live , so now im trying to test out the version 1.4 .. I sell in the US , my store is in Texas so i have to charge county/state tax . I set everything up like i thought i had before and such . I can get it to charge tax on all items but not on just items sold and shipped to texas . Any help would be greatly appreciated ... I did search the forum and tried some info from post about earlier versions but did not see nay post related to the new version .

Thanks

back office -> 'Payment' tab -> 'Taxes Rules' subtab -> Click [+] next to USA -> select "apply state tax only" from dropdown next to texas, and your tax setting from the 2nd dropdown

I've only just started playing with 1.4 so I'll see if anything is fixed, but keep in mind if you didn't pick up on it before.. in prior versions presta charged tax to applicable BILLING addresses. This is wrong, you charge your state tax if its SHIPPED there. Required core code modification. Also required core mods to seperate tax to its own 'total' line rather then included in 'tax included' product prices.

Edit: wow! ok so they DID finally fix those issues. tax options allow you to set tax on seperate line, as well as based on delivery or shipping address. thanks presta, one less mod i need to carry over to my upgrade..

Hi, I'm a new Prestashop user. I've used Virtuemart & Oscommerce, but am a complete newbie here. I'm beginning to understand the tax stuff, but don't have it figured out completely. It would be great if someone could put a step by step guide for 1.4.

My scenario is typical. I only need to charge tax for one state. In this case California.
My questions are:
1. Do I need to set the Tax Rule on every product to US-CA?
2. Should I disable the taxes I am not using on the Payment > Taxes tab? ie. for the other states and VAT?
3. Thanks to enigma32 for the instructions for the Payment > Tax Rules tab

back office -> ‘Payment’ tab -> ‘Taxes Rules’ subtab -> Click [+] next to USA -> select “apply state tax only” from dropdown next to texas, and your tax setting from the 2nd dropdown

Thank you!
