Applied Posts: 93 Joined: 9/18/2009	OK guys, how do I get SALES TAX to display (in addition to the Product Price) on the various pages, including the featured products, selected product and shopping cart (where I want to see the total tax payable as well as the grand total payable)? I have defined sales tax in the appropriate admin option, but does sales tax somehow have to be enabled (I cannot see an option)? Thanks K

	The sale tax shows up in the checkout page and is based on the total order amount and buyer's location. If the sale tax is flat to any buyer and you wish to display in the product page, feel free to customize the product detail and product summary page to add the sale tax display.

Applied Posts: 93 Joined: 9/18/2009	OK I see now that AFTER you put in your payment details THEN you see the tax value. I think it would be useful to be able to see tax values all the way through (and before proceeding to buy), so I guess I will need to look thru the code to see how to get to the values. Thanks.

	If the state law requires the destination tax, the problem with that is how you decide the tax rate without user's shipping address. Also the shipping charge is required to be part of the tax calculation. DotShoppingCart Staff
