Hi,

Can anyone point me to any documentation as to how to get the TaxCalculator functionality working?

The code below is not working:

TaxCalculator::set_for_country("UK", 0.15, "VAT", "exclusive");

Likewise with this code as well:

TaxModifier::set_for_country("UK", 0.15, "VAT", "exclusive");
Order::set_modifiers(array('TaxModifier'));

There also seems to be others running into problems with this but I'm yet to find a solution on these forums.

Thanks.

Has anyone cracked this?

It's a real show stopper for me.

OK, I've cracked it.

Firstly make sure you have the very latest stable releases of not only the core CMS but the ecommerce module too.

Then you need to add these lines to the _config.php file:

TaxCalculator::set_for_country("UK", 0.15, "VAT", "exclusive");
TaxCalculator::set_for_country("NZ", 0.15, "VAT", "exclusive");

Strangely it requires the NZ entry for the UK one to work.

I hope this helps someone!
