Taxation screen - where is it?

I see in the documentation on setting up tax stuff, the final step in terms of linking a tax rate to a zone (or state) is shown as a Taxation rule edit screen. Yet I cannot find that screen anywhere. All I can find is tax category and tax rate. I set up a category for FL sales at the FL rate. I cannot figure out how to apply it though to customers in FL. So, how in the world do you do it?

Ok, I found the tax rule screen (not called that). Still cannot get tax to calculate for my state. Followed the documentation, no good. Anyone have the magic bullet? Other than this I love the module.

Thank you for the help. I think I have done all of that, in several different ways, to no avail. I either get all of the states in the US taxed, or none. What I need to do is only apply tax if the buyer lives in one particular state, the state in which I am established. So here is what I did:

1) In zones, I unpublished all countries except US.
2) In US zone, I removed subzones which were not continental US.
3) With that, now my checkout enter address looks like it needs to for the places in which I do business.
4) I created a tax zone, called FL Tax which has a subzone including FL state only.
5) Created Tax Category called Taxable Sales
6) In my products, I reference that Tax Category
7) Created Tax Rate of 7% for FLorida
Created Tax Rule linking Category, Rate, customer type, and zone.
9) In Configuration, I reference the tax zone I had created with only FL in it.

Now what I get depends on how I set the zone in the Tax Rule. Are you supposed to set the rule to point to the geographical zone or the tax zone? Of course either way does not work for me. One way ends up with state taxed or none of them taxed. What am I missing?

Thank you for any help.

I used All Customers

Still have issues. The front page is myfdg.com

Right now it is charging tax for all states.

Will do. Be just a few minutes. I had already set up an account figuring you would need it.

Did the access come through for you?

will send via contact

Awesome. Thank you

We found the problem and fixed it. It's actually a problem which happened after some improvements we made on some part of the zone handling on the front end.

For other users, we had to change the code:

				if(empty($zones[$address->$field])){
					$zoneClass = hikashop::get('class.zone');
					$zones[$address->$field] = $zoneClass->get($address->$field);
					if(!empty($zones[$address->$field])){
						$zone_id = $zones[$address->$field]->zone_id;
					}
				}

to:

				if(empty($zones[$address->$field])){
					$zoneClass = hikashop::get('class.zone');
					$zones[$address->$field] = $zoneClass->get($address->$field);
				}
				if(!empty($zones[$address->$field])){
					$zone_id = $zones[$address->$field]->zone_id;
				}

in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/helper.php

if(!empty($shipping_address)){
			$addressClass = hikashop::get('class.address');
			$address = $addressClass->get($shipping_address);
			if(!empty($address)){
				$field = 'address_country';
				if(!empty($address->address_state)){
					$field = 'address_state';
				}
				$zoneClass = hikashop::get('class.zone');
				$zone = $zoneClass->get($address->$field);
				if(!empty($zone)){
					$zone_id = $zone->zone_id;
				}
			}
		}
		if(empty($zone_id)){
			$zone_id =$app->getUserState( HIKASHOP_COMPONENT.'.zone_id', 0 );
			if(empty($zone_id)){
				$config =& hikashop::config();
				$zone_id = explode(',',$config->get('main_tax_zone',$zone_id));
				if(count($zone_id)){
					$zone_id = array_shift($zone_id);
				}else{
					$zone_id=0;
				}
				$app->setUserState( HIKASHOP_COMPONENT.'.zone_id', $zone_id );
			}
		}
		return (int)$zone_id;

well shoot, I guess not. I only downloaded this a couple weeks ago. it says I am using 1.4.7 and the new one is 1.4.8. so, if I click on the auto-install will it wipe my little changes I have made to the view files in backend? sheesh I didn't even finish installing yet and it's already out of date, lol.
