I agree with BJ, having something calculating automatically taxes behind sounds
frightening...

Might think about ECA's
sends a message to user that tax is unable to be calcuated and contact a
consultant to have this upgraded.
or have a screen they are sent to, to add their default tax info.

Hi All,
Current tax calculations in Ofbiz are quiet complex and hence difficult to
understand completely. I have run in to situations (during testing) which
highlights the fact that user entry errors can cause tax calculations to be
mis-calculated. e.g. If user enters City and Zip code which are not related
- meaning somehow geo_assoc for that doesnt exist (may be because the tax
data imported by me wasnt didnt have the complete list or was done by the
user on purpose or unknowingly) I dont see a way to have a catch all tax
where the tax e.g. in the case of California, if none no tax authority could
be found and if the state was CA, the the default tax charged should be
8.25% or whatever.
For proper tax calculations for California in Ofbiz I can only have 1 tax
authority and since in California CBOE publishes tax rates by the city I
have chosen to define city based tax authorities only. I cannot have both CA
state tax authority along with city based tax authorities since ofbiz tax
calculations seems like it adds those 2 while calculating tax for the cart.
Let me know if my understanding of tax authority in Ofbiz is off and if
there is a way to have catch all.
Thanks
