Tax Table

Hi, there,

How can I define my tax region by city on my shopping cart? We only charge tax in California, but the shopping cart does not allow me to define the tax based on city. It only has country, state, and Zipcode.

Thanks,

Louis

Re: Tax Table
If you only charge tax in CA, wouldn't use state for CA enough for your scenario? Why do you need to use city level?

Re: Tax Table
But you know, the tax is different for different city. Please refer to the link about the tax in CA. www.boe.ca.gov/cgi-bin/rates.cgi

Re: Tax Table
From http://www.boe.ca.gov/pdf/pub109.pdf, your business operates just as any regular retail stores. Can you charge the sales tax for the rate that your business is located? In other words, collect ship-from tax rate rather than ship-to tax rate.

Re: Tax Table
More accurately they are called origin-base versus destination-based. According to http://www.lao.ca.gov/2000/013100_inet_tax/013100_internet_sup2.html#t44 California is origin-based. So you could use your local tax rate for intrastate sales just fine. To support destination-based tax, we will add "city" as tax region defintion in the future release.

Re: Tax Table
Is it possible for you to teach me how to add the city right now instead of next release? Our accounting insists on ship to location tax.
 
Thanks,

Re: Tax Table

It's not an easy customization. Can you use zipcode for now? I will see if we can push out the next release in a week or so.

Re: Tax Table
Hi,
 
I got a tax table of CA based on Zipcode. But the problem is that it's a huge table, how can I intergrate it into my shopping cart?
 
Thanks,
 
Louis

Re: Tax Table
We are working on the feature that allows you to bulk upload the tax data. If you cannot wait you will have to either manually enter those or write the tool on your own. You can find the code in Admin\Store\TaxRegionEdit.aspx.cs and Admin\Store\Controls\TableBasedTaxConfiguration.ascx.cs.

Re: Tax Table
Could you please advise how long it will take you to finish the function?
 
Thanks,
