Jacques, that's a great piece of information that I had definitely
overlooked.  That seems to me to be a VERY big problem though as you
want to be able to charge taxes to anyone that orders anything - not
just people who want their information stored, correct?

As long as taxes are defined by the GEO where the resident lives. If you have no information about that point how may you charge
taxes ?

For example if I work on a contract in France I will have to apply taxes for my services in the invoice. But if I work on a contract
outside France no taxes are applied.

Shipping is not the way because the buyer is not necessarily the one who receive the item. But as long as they pay I think that you are able to know where they reside, not sure how to do that in each cases though...

Most jurisdictions around the world require taxes based on the shipping address, or on the billing address if a shipping address is not available or applicable (ie digital purchases and such if they are taxable).

In other words, I think this would really be more of a bug than something that inherently can't be implemented.

It sounds like OFBiz is not doing tax calculation for the "anonymous" checkout properly and that needs to be fixed.

Tim: could you throw an issue into Jira for this? Hopefully it will be a minor issue to fix and something just isn't tied in correctly.
