For the current tax rate there's a base country and state with the zip code. The problem I'm running into is that we have two states where we are required to have licenses for business.
In our previous store software we charged a 6.5% sales tax for all shipments going to Ohio and a 5% sales tax for Virginia.
I'm asking that a feature be added for having multiple base country and states. Maybe an 'Add Another' button or something like that. Better yet, maybe there's a table that could be pulled in that would have the sales tax rate for each state and I could multi-select which states are required by accounting.
Thanks again for the great product, we're getting orders daily and the system seems to be working otherwise.

Hi Justin,
I believe this is possible even now. Please add these codes inside functions.php of your theme:
function calculate_tax_for_ohio ( $price, $total, $cart, $country, $state ) {
// Do nothing if it is not Ohio
if ( 'US' != $country || 'OH' != $state )
return $price;
// Else apply 6.5% tax
return round(($total * 0.065), 2);
}
add_filter( 'mp_tax_price', 'calculate_tax_for_ohio', 10, 5 );
Please note that:
1. You base province is assumed to be outside Ohio. If you select it as Virginia and enter 5% in store settings, then 5% tax will already be applied for Virginia.
2. Special taxes per product basis are NOT taken into account. In other words, for all products that are sent to Ohio "special tax rate" in the product page will be ignored.
3. I just made a quick check for Ohio and I saw 6.5% tax is applied. Please make more detailed tests before going online.
1. We are based out of Ohio and Virginia both in the US and currently VA tax is set in store at 5%.
2. We don't need any special taxes per product. We need the tax rate for Ohio to be added to the product order if they are being shipped to Ohio or if the customer lives in Ohio. We don't have tax rates per product.
3. The code above, you said to enter this into functions.php of my theme. I'm assuming the Wordpress Theme itself and not the Marketpress theme.
The site is already online, If the code is correct and functions for the added tax rate I'll give it a go, just want to clarify all of the above first.
Thanks again for this product, so far we love it.
FYI, I wasn't notified of your reply because I forgot to click the checkbox. I might recommend not having that option at all and use default notifications or have it automatically selected so there's no missing a reply. :)

Hi Justin,
For item 3: yes, I mean your current theme.
The rest looks ok, but take these as suggestions only.
It should work, but please understand that we don't take any responsibility as money talks at this point :)
Cheers,

Hi Hakan,
Adding that code to the functions.php seems to calculate the correct tax for orders in Ohio. Thank you.
