Charge Sales tax ONLY in Illinois?

How do I set this up?

I only want sales tax charged for people that purchase items in illinois.

I removed the default tax zone so that the prices only reflect the retail price.
So, now the taxes should show ONLY when a person from Illinois purchases an item.

Now, should I set the Tax Category of the individual products to Illinois for this to work?

This is VERY Confusing..

I have done this =

There, you first need to create a new tax category and a new tax rate via the "manage tax rates" and "manage tax categories" buttons.

I now see "Illionis" for: Tax category

But? I have 100+ products in already..

How can I change them ALL instead of one by one please?

ADDED.. Also?? I have display with and without working now, how/where do I change =
($1,500.00 excl VAT)

VAT to "Illinois Tax" ?? I looked in Configuration > Languages and did a search and found nothing for over ride.

In the language file, search the text: "PRICE_AFTER_TAX" and replace the translation.

Thank you and just getting back to this now...as Taxes is not working during a checkout and I am in Illinois

1) I have System > Taxes > [Tax Rules]
index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=taxation
Zone = Illinois
Does not Show Tax Category ??
Does not show Rate?

2) Manage Rates = Illinois & shows 6.75 as I need
index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=tax&return=taxation

3) Tax category I have Default Tax Category & Illinois
index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=category&filter_id=tax

In Product I have Illinois for Tax etc.. But when I check out? Before Credit Card it does not show price with tax.

Here are the rules, rates and Categories screenshots.. Please help

I went to Rules and Clicked on Illinois and here is the ZONES image.

What do you mean by "select it" please? I put a checkmark in it...laugh, but ??

OK, attached now =

and wow.. That part is really not clear, to do that extra step I feel? But thank you..and I will try it now. I set it to Default? I hope that works... I did change (3) products..

Taxes, now showing and thank you.

But what is happening is that ALL PRICES show taxes included in the price. That is not good, as at least here in America, and how other carts work..taxes are APPLIED and SHOWN only when the user has been "identified" that they are in the "taxable zone"

In other words,

"Illinois Residents please add x.xx%" if they are "not logged in" yet, and ONLY show "taxable amount" after logged in as the TAX is UNIQUE only to resident of Illinois.

Does that make sense?

Sorry for late reply Nicolas, but I had a situation the other day where the VPS company I was using went out of business. I like a fool, did have Akeeba backups...but I never downloaded them...so I am starting from scratch again...as I also have lost over 100 products, all categories and brands.

I am also repeating this, so that it is here for others in the USA...step by step, as during a cart set up...and before products are even entered... Taxes should be declared.

1) I have Illinois set again to Main Tax Zone
2) I have added Illinois to Tax Category
3) I have 6.75 entered for Illinois "tax rate"

4) I am now back at System > Tax rule "NEW"

a) I selected Illinois and then also now selecting it as the Zone by clicking on the EDIT icon.. I then type in the pop up and putting a "check mark" in Illinois and it is "Published" and clicking OK.

b) Save & Close and it is now showing proper.

Now, to what you have said...and sorry for repeating this, but this is "unclear"

re: You must have configured Illinois as your main tax zone in the configuration. When the user is not logged in, it uses that zone for the taxes.

I do have this set as "Illinois"

re: Just configure another zone there so that the prices don't get the tax until they enter their address.

This is where I am confused? Configure another? There already is the "Default Tax Zone" ..
