How to set up Municipal (City Residents) Sales Tax

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.5
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.29
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : not browser dependant

I actually have not yet figured out how to set up Sales Tax for the State either. I must be missing something very basic.

Here is the situation on the cart I am setting which only needs two rules:

Residents of South Dakota have to pay a 4% Sales Tax.

Residents of the City of Hermosa, South Dakota have to pay an additional 2% Sales Tax.

Here is what I have done so far:

Under Manage Tax Category button Created the following:
South Dakota State Sales Tax
Hermosa South Dakota Municipal Sales Tax

Under Manage Rates button Created the following two Tax namekey's:

southdakotastatesales 4%
hermosasouthdakotamunicipal 2%

Now what baffles me is how I associate those two tax categories with the tax rates. I assume that I somehow connect the State of South Dakota by using "SD" which I already found in the Zone South Dakota. What I have not figure out is how to make my South Dakota State Sales Tax Category associated with the South Dakota Zone already in the system. I did publish that zone.

Then after that I need to create a zone for the City of Hermosa that will be probably based on zipcodes?

Any help and pointers will be appreciated! I suspect you get too many of these dumb questions but I did not find the answer yet on your site. I keep thinking I am close but not quite there.

Thank you, Sean Carney

Thank you Nicolas,

I believe I have it set up correctly now. Thank you for the help!

I have one question just in case I did the municipal tax rate incorrectly:

I put BOTH of my rules in the Zone of South Dakota but only added the Postal Code to the one with the additional 2%.

I also set BOTH of my rules to Cumulative tax = Yes.

I guess my main question is whether they should both be in the same Zone of South Dakota. Seems like both rules should be in that zone since the city of Hermosa is in the State of South Dakota.

Thanks again, It was easier then I was making it out to be. But... I did need your instruction. I was in the State of Confusion.

Salut/Hi,

I am using Hikashop 2.4.0 and Joomla 3.4.
I am trying to setup a specific tax for San Francisco is (8.75%). while California Tax is (7.5%).

As per the above, I have setup under Default Tax Category, 2 rules as illustrated in the attached screenshot.

yet, when someone sets up an order with a zipcode 94123 [San Francisco], it doesn't calculate 7.5% + 1.25% = 8.75%

Merci/Thanks!

Emmanuel.

btw: small bug - the Cumulative Tax checkmarks are not togglable even though the Published checkmarks is toggable.

Merci Nicolas,

Avec la règle, 941[0-5][1-9]{1} - cela marche

A+,

Emmanuel.
