Hello, I have tried in vain for there to be no tax on the shipping cost to Texas, but I need some help.
I have one shipping method that is set for the manual shipping plugin and the Tax Category = None, $0 price and 10% with no zone restrictions. My taxes are setup to only effect Texas (which works well), but the shipping cost to Texas shows the 10% plus the 8.25% tax rate. The shipping rate anywhere else is the standard 10% and it works well. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Hi,

Could you do a screenshot for your shipping method options page and give a link to your shop so that we can see the problem ?

Well, there is no taxes applied.
However, the shipping price is calculated based on the price with taxes.
So if you set 10%, it will be 10% of the product prices with taxes.
That's why the shipping price changes when you set your address to texas.
If you don't want that you could circumvent the problem like that:

Create two shipping methods. One for texas, and one for all the rest (you would need to create a new zone for that via System->Zones).

In the texas shipping method, you set the percentage so that it takes the taxes % in the price percentage. So it should should be less than 10%
In the other shipping method, you leave the percentage like that.

That way, the system will display one or another during the checkout and the shipping price won't change.
