Cart not charging tax. How to fix?

[dreaminggates 0]

Hello, all.  I live in Virginia and have received a couple orders from fellow Virginians.  For neither of the orders did my cart charge the 4.5% sales tax.  How do I make sure my cart charges state tax?  Thank you.

@dreaminggates

1) admin -> Locations / Taxes -> Tax Classes

Make sure you have a Tax Class called "Taxable Goods". All of you products that are taxable in your state must have a Tax Class of "Taxable Goods." Confirm under Admin -> Catalog -> Categories / Products -> (all of your taxable products)

 

2) Admin -> Locations / Taxes -> Tax Rates

Make sure you have an entry here:

a) Priority -> 1

b) Tax Class -> Taxable Goods

c) Zone -> in your case, 'Virginia'

d) Tax Rate -> in your case, 4.5%

 

3) Admin -> Locations / Taxes -> Tax Zones

Make sure you have an entry here -> in your case, 'Virginia'

 

Let us know if you need more assistance.
