Using the shopcountries table in your database, you can specify a tax rate for customers from a certain country that should be taxed.
In your shop administration, go to Advanced Settings > International >View/Edit Countries and click the Edit button next to the country you want to add a tax rate to.
In the countrytaxrate field, you need to enter a percentage rate for the tax to be charged.
For example, if you want UKresidents to be charged a tax of 17.5%, you would add 0.175 to the countrytaxrate field of the UK record.
Note: It is important that the country dropdown list be used to generate the correct country abbreviations.You need to set the following in your shop configuration:
|
xincludecountries |
Setting this to Yes tells VPCART to generate a dropdown list of countries on the customer form rather than allowing them to enter their own country manually. |
