Hi there,

There seems to be unexpected behavior in WooCommerce currently. I have deactivated all the other plugins and activated a standard 2021 theme. Here’s the situation:

In my tax options, I have manually entered standard tax rates, different one for each Canadian province. I have it also set to calculate tax based on billing.

In my shipping zones, I have 1 zone defined with a region and postcode wildcards.

Then, on checkout page, this is what needs to happen in order for the tax name/amount to be properly updated in the order-review table via AJAX:

1. All the required fields need to be filled (billing AND shipping)
2. The shipping region and postcode NEED to match the zone I have set up

Only then, when I start switching the billing provinces, does the tax name/amount gets properly updated. When the above 2 conditions are not met, the tax name/amount stay the same (one of the standard tax rates I defined) after each Ajax call triggered by the billing province select box changes.

Would you be able to provide any guidance on the issue?

Just a quick correction on my original post: condition #1 doesn’t have to be met, only the 2nd one does

Hi @vadimdude

Thank you for sharing the screenshots.

Just a quick correction on my original post: condition #1 doesn’t have to be met, only the 2nd one does

2. The shipping region and postcode NEED to match the zone I have set up

Looking at this screenshot, I see that you’ve created a shipping zone using wildcards: M2*, M3*, M4*, M5*…

Try adding space before the * – so it’s like M2 *, M3 *, M4 *, M5 *..., and check if that fixes the issue.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn’t fix the issue.

However, I figured out why this was happening. You see, my zone called “Locations not covered by your other zones” has a shipping method “Local pickup”. That’s a built-in WC shipping method and in its description it says that “By default, when using local pickup store base taxes will apply regardless of customer address.” (https://snipboard.io/93wlWO.jpg) So therefore, when the shipping postcode doesn’t match the Toronto zone (https://snipboard.io/cOGqpy.jpg), the checkout defaults to the local pickup. And that’s when the store base tax (in my case Ontario, Canada) gets applied no matter which billing province I select, and that’s why it wasn’t changing when I was switching the billing province.

So, everything is working as intended. Thanks a lot for your help!
