-- url of the page with the problem -- : waterproofing-products/tanking-repair
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.4
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6.4

Hello, I am struggling with taxes and when they do and don't display on products.

I have got 2 tax brackets:
The first one includes all countries and all states within the United Kingdom except Channel Isles and thats set to 20%
The second one is set to only Channel Isles and set to 0%

At the cart this all works great when someone enters there address it changes accordingly but I have found that if there is no address entered on the site. It automatically defaults to 0% for all products on the site but I really want all the products to display 20% unless the Channel Isles address is selected.

Could you help me?

Hi,

The default zone before the user enters his address comes from the "main tax zone" setting of the HikaShop configuration. So you need to select there one of the zones of your tax rule for the 20% tax rate and it will do what you want.

Thanks but I have already set the main tax zone to the United Kingdom but its still not reading the tax. There must be something else overriding it?

Here is a screen shot of the settings

Hi,

Then it means that the United Kingdom zone you selected there is not a sub zone of the zone "All countries except chanel islands Vat" or that zone is not of the type "tax".
So I would recommend to check that zone in the menu System>Zones.

Hello I think I got it sorted now.
I made 2 zones for the 20% one which includes all countries except UK and the other All Countries and UK except Channel Isles
Then just a 0% on channel Isles and that has seemed to work.

So basically I just published the All countries except UK zonne I created.

I have attached a image just for reference incase anyone else needs help with this too.
