We recently purchased the Smith.Cart module via Snowcovered and have installed it on a DNN CE 05.06.01 (238) setup for a UK company.

I have added 25 or so products and have setup some custom methods for the shipping (uk, euro and worldwide).

I want to implement tax control by country but I can't seem to locate a way to do this. It all seems to be by county/state/zip code etc. If someone from the UK went to purchase something from the store it would have a 20% tax on it, however, this should be ignored if, say, someone from the US were to purchase something. Is this possible?

I did check the module description before purchasing and it said "Tax by country, region and province".

Can anyone guide me on what would be the best process or if its even possible?

### SETUP ###
DNN: CE 05.06.01 (238)
SQL: MSSQL 2008
Smith.Cart: v3.98.0

Thanks.

Liam

Can you post a screen shot of how you have tax configured in the buynow module settings?

Its currently just set to tax everyone at 20% VAT.

Actually, the Tax Tables just work on CIty/State.  In thinking about this, it wouldn't be too difficult to modify the stored procedure for the tax lookup to handle by city, but you would have to then build a table of every city in every country that you were going to sell to.

The country is not currently passed to the Stored Procedure.  Just CIty & State.

Hrm...I actually got the module because it specifically said 'Tax by country....'

Not sure what else to do then as this kind of renders the module useless for our clients requirements which is a shame as its a small, simple cart which was easy to deploy and use and wasn't bloated like many of the other cart modules out there.

Guess I need to start looking into the refund processes now.

We are very close to rolling out new EU VAT Enhancements that will allow you to apply tax the way you described:

  • The ability for products to be entered exclusive of VAT
  • The ability to charge VAT if selling to the same country (Seller country defined in BuyNow module settings “Home Country”)
  • Conversely, no VAT charged for sales outside home country.  The destination country is determined by the bill to address collected in the cart checkout.
  • The ability not to charge VAT if company user enters a valid VAT ID number.
    • Added a new textbox to the cart page where the user can enter a VAT ID
    • Real time automated validation of the entered VAT number at the EU Commission  VIES site.

Actually, you can tax only within your home country right now using the tax table option in the Buynow settings.  Just populate the "Smith_Tax" table with the regions you want to tax.  The reqions would be entered in the state field in the "smith_tax" table.
