How do I set up taxes?

I found this topic on the forum: www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/4751-i-n...etting-up-taxes.html

I've done exactly what it said to do.

1. Manage Tax Categories and created category called Sales Tax

2. Manage Rates and set name key as sales_tax and tax rate is 8%



3. Set up taxes with category as Sales Tax and rate as sales_tax (8%) Didn't edit anything else and published it.




To see if it worked, I went to add a product and for the price, I typed in $4 for example. The price with tax should have been $4.32 but both price and price with tax boxes showed $4.




Am I doing something wrong? Just a reminder, the tax I set up is published and is selected under Product tax category on the add a product page.

Turns out the taxes are working properly. It's not showing the tax price when I create a product but when I add the item to cart and go to checkout, it shows the tax there.

That might be it. I do have another issue that involves the tax. When I add an item to cart that costs $10 and the tax is 8%, it shows the subtotal as $10.80, tax as $0.80 then the total as $10.80. How can I make the subtotal show the cost before tax?
