Sales Tax Information

Question:  When trying to check out of my store, it gives you a 'Ship to' list, and a 'Bill to' form. Under the 'Ship to' form, at the very bottom, is a drop-down list that says to "Select one." However, there is nothing to select and because of this it will not let you check out. What is wrong?

Answer: This is probably from using the 'Shopper Selected Sales Tax' module with no options entered. You can either enter some options for this module, or use the 'State Based Sales Tax' module and only enter a tax rate for the states or areas that need to be charged tax.

Question:   I have selected state based tax. but it says $0.00 everytime i order something. I try to choose different states.. but without any luck.

Answer:  In the state tax module setup, you have to choose a state and enter a tax rate. If you have not entered a tax rate it has to tell you $0.00.

Question: How can I charge taxes on shipping?

Answer: For those in Canada who need to charge Taxes on the shipping, I have a document at Miva Exchage www.miva.com/exchange that tells how to modify the mmui.mv and the tax module to include shipping in the taxes.
