interpreted = N
texte = >Taxes... Ugh. Some of our products/services are taxable, some aren't. For example, Seminar attendees aren't taxed on their attendance fee, since that's a service - not a hard good. Most other items ARE taxable - if they're in Massachusetts (5%) or Canada (GST 5%).Now you see why we didn't try to create a predefined tax structure in WebCatalog -- every site is so different that it's best we provide you with the tools but not the final solution.>If so, then I can't calculate the tax until I know the city and country they're purchasing from, so I need to get that information BEFORE I present the final invoice - which is not at all how the current Invoice.tmpl (again, from the General Store example) is set up.Actually, that's exactly why the GeneralStore asks for your zip code BEFORE moving on the the pro-forma invoice -- we wanted to show you an example of how to get the information you need for the tax formula. The TeaRoom does a similar thing, but uses the state instead.Setting taxable=F in your product database takes care of services vs. products. Then it's just a matter of creating a taxRate formula that evaluates to 0 or 5% or whatever based on the shipping information you've collected.>Anyone have a brain to WebDNA module?Yes, it's called a consultant ;) There are plenty of WebDNA consultants on this list (including the creators of WebDNA, Pacific Coast Software) who can get your complex parts up and running very quickly.
