Guest DJsmurf45 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hey, ok, a person ordered out of province (BC) and they dont get the full %15 tax as to ontario. i was wandering if there is a way for the site to add only the tax each province or country uses instead of adding 15% to every user no matter where they are from, thanks!

Guest turtle Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Hello fellow Canadian user! What do you think of this (sort of) solution: (still working on this but came across this as I'm desperately trying to get IPN/PayPal working) 1. make the main tax as PST (I assume Ontario is 8%?) 2. make that tax only apply to Ontario 3. in PayPal Business, set the regional tax for Canada-only for 7% Result in the CC checkout: Ontario customers: - you will see product: $10.00 - PST tax: $0.80 - shipping: $5.40 - total: $16.20 Then, when you go through PayPal, they will add another 7% on top... Problem is that it put's 7% on top of the 8% tax too no? ... Other "Canadian" customers: - you will see product: $10.00 - PST tax: $0.00 - shipping: $5.00 - total: $10.00 Then, in PayPal, they are charged 7% on top... At least this one works right? Other Worldwide customers: - you will see product: $10.00 - PST tax: $0.00 - shipping: $5.00 - total: $10.00 Then in PayPal, they are charged no tax. What do you think? I'm concentrating on getting IPN to work so thought I'd at least post this if it helps. (yes, I tried Sir Williams fix but no luck...) btw, I need to get this tax working too - I posted earlier with zero replies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest turtle Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 UPDATE Now with IPN/PDT working with PayPal, I looked into this more and it 'seemed' to be working when I was doing all those tests with Sandbox - and now it doesn't seem to show any additional taxes at all 'within' PayPal's site even though i have set a region tax in PayPal's Profile. Question to developer's out there: Can you create a mod where: 1. business owner inputs their home province somewhere and their regional tax = p 2. business owner inputs their home country and the nation-wide tax = c 3. during the checkout process it queries the customer's address to output only 1 of 3 possible equations: A. product price * ( p + c ) --> those in the same province + country B. product price * ( c ) --> those in the same country C. product price only --> those outside the country (no tax charged) Hope that make sense to everyone... My boss is a bit upset that I overlooked CubeCart's inability(?) to do this when proposing we use CC - without this we can't use it anymore... Your help will really save my butt. Feeling the heat... FYI I have found this thread - does this code look like something someone can continue to add onto to achieve the goal above? Possible solution?
