Tax not working correctly

  • I am having a weird issue with tax in Woocommerce and wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to resolve it.

    Tax per state/province rules aren’t working when I try and checkout. My base location is in Manitoba, Canada and if I set a tax rule for that province specifically, the tax gets applied for all provinces, not just that one as it should.

    For one other example, I set up a tax rule so that all of the US would get charged a certain tax, but during the checkout process there isn’t any tax charged for any US State.

    Here are the diagnostics I have tried:
    – Used default TwentyFourteen theme
    – Disabled all plugins

    I am using the latest version of WordPress and the latest version of Woocommerce.

    Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks

  • Please could you post a screenshot of the table at Admin page > WooCommerce > Settings > Tax tab, Standard rates page.

    Hi there,

    Here is my screenshot: https://postimg.org/image/hyrf69g5r/

    The MB line must be above the default line. There is no line for the US.

    I moved that line up and it made no difference, it still charges both taxes for all provinces (as well as US States).

    The US example I had made for testing purposes but then removed from my tax rules.

    What is kinda weird is that I reinstalled Woocommerce and the tax seemed to work good for an hour or two, and then it suddenly messed up again and started charging both taxes for all provinces and US States.

    In the example, the state and country lines have the same priority.

    I set them as the same priority and now it charges 1 tax on every province and state instead of 2.

    There must be something terribly wrong if it is charging tax I specified for Canada on US addresses.

    It almost seems like ajax is having issues refreshing the tax when the address changes. Don’t know where to go from here though.

    What setting do you have in the dropdown at Admin page > WooCommerce > Settings > Tax tab, Calculate Tax Based On:. If you have the dropdown set to shop base address then that would explain why the tax is the same everywhere.

    Calculate Tax Based On is set to: Customer Shipping Address

    I resolved the issue. It turns out I overlooked the fact that I only had “local pickup” shipping enabled, which charges the tax rate of the base location, regardless of billing/shipping address.

    Thanks for your help!
