Default Re: Sales Tax Issue

Hi, guys!

Sorry for being silent on this matter for a while. You know, we have been to IRCE.

@BDGirl Thank you for sharing solution for setting up sales tax.

@carpeperdiem thank you for having look at tax system and giving feedback.

1. Thanks. We should definitely add it.
2. Yes, you are right import/export of tax rates is not supported yet. We are thinking of adding it, but I think that approach of using services -- like Avalara where your taxes are always up-to-date without having to worry about them -- is much better. What do you think of it as a merchant?

3. I just checked it out and it works fine to me. Could you please check admin demo one more time? Just to make sure the problem is gone.

Thank you.

Tony.

Wow. Just spent 15 frustrating minutes with XC5 demo admin.
1. Sales Tax module is disabled and no way to enable in demo mode;
2. I read the docs:
http://kb.x-cart.com/display/XDD/Spe...+your+products
3. There appears to be no way to import or export sales tax rates/zones;
4. The demo store admin is slow as molasses;

...and it is very clear that sales tax is not ready for production.

XC4 tax interface may be perceived as too complicated, but it has the features.
based on the docs, XC5 tax features are simply missing.
And not having tax system enabled on the demo admin makes it impossible to test without installing.

Dear X-Cart: in the US, there are states that have 90+ tax zones (New York is one) and some states require collecting tax on shipping, some states do not. XC5 is useless for production until it can import tax zones from a spreadsheet and there is a setting per tax zone to apply to DST+SH or just DST. Or ST. With or without shipping.
