Sales Tax by county - How to use Tax Zones???

My client wants to charge sales tax to customers within his county, but not outside of the county (or outside of the state for that matter). If it helps, he sales strictly to customers inside of the USA.

I have everything set up where I can change sales tax based on the address_state field (if they're in Kansas, then they get charged, but otherwise it's 0%). However, that doesn't satisfy his needs.


It would seem like a custom zone field in the Address table should fix that. I created a new Tax Zone, with two entries - "I live within XXXX county", and "I do NOT live in XXXX county".

Like I've said, I added the zone to the address table, and that shows up in the Address section, but I cannot figure out how to make the Tax rules observe this.


Maybe I'm just totally misunderstanding the purpose of Tax Zones, but otherwise, I'm missing something critical here.


I did read the forum post where someone changed the Country Zones into State Zones, and then used the State Zones to list cities, etc. I'm sure I could get that to work, but it seems really messy, error prone, and I can't help but think that there's a better way.


I'm using Hikashop 2.0.0 - Free edition, although I'm more than willing to upgrade if that would fix this issue.

Please Help!

I'm uploading screen shots of my current config if that helps.

So what you're saying is that there's no (direct) way of having the end-user select which tax zone they're in (in County or out-of-County) and apply the tax accordingly?

Hi,

He is just saying that your taxe rate will be aplied regarding your customer address wich will be in a taxe zone.
So the end-user will choose it undirectly by giving his address.
