Tax Setting for City/County

  • Our client is in Colorado, which has a home-rule tax law to follow. Simply put, they need to also collect city/and or county taxes, on top of state sales tax when a resident of their city/and or county makes a purchase. I’m trying to determine what we can do to accommodate this, as it appears that unlike a solution like Woocommerce, there’s no way to include or upload these additional tax constraints. Any guidance, additional plugin advice? TIA.

    Hi there!

    At this time we do not support city / county taxes, sorry, but it is on our todo list.

    Okay, thank you for the update and prompt reply. Do you have a recommended plugin for handling this, or a work-around within the PayPal interface, so we can collect these required taxes?

    Are you comfortable with a little bit of custom development? There is a way you can enable tax collection at PayPal if you’re fine with a small code snippet.

    Absolutely! That would be awesome, thank you.

    Here’s the code snippet for you:

    <?php
/*
 * This snippet enabless PayPal tax calculation after redirecting to PayPal
 */

function pw_edd_set_tax_on( $args, $purchase_data ) {
	if( isset( $args['tax_cart'] ) ) {
		unset( $args['tax_cart'] );
	}
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'edd_paypal_redirect_args', 'pw_edd_set_tax_on' );

    That should allow the tax amount to be calculated by PayPal.

    Two notes:

    1. You will have to configure the tax rates in your PayPal account
    2. The taxed amount will not be reported in EDD

    You can add this code snippet to your site by:

    1. Install Pluginception: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/pluginception/
    2. Use Pluginception to create a new plugin
    3. Paste the code snippet above into the new plugin file
