What is the shipping tax for a guest order on my website?

[toniascookin]

I am entering a guests order into PP from my website and I don't know how to find the shipping and handling tax I have entered everything the same as what the Website gave me but I can not find anywhere how much the shipping tax is and the only difference is how much the sales tax total is. on The website it is 4.60, and on pp it is $3.89 for the total sales tax. Anyway the order it's going to Miami Florida and the sales tax is 7.0% If anyone can help me figure out what I am doing wrong; it would be greatly appreciated this is the first show I am entering and I can't seem to figure this out. Thank you in advance. Tonia

My guess is that you forgot to also put in a 7% shipping tax. This happened to me and I was going crazy trying to figure out why the personal website and PP differed so I went to CC and did a tax lookup to make sure I got it right. While there I reread the blurb at the bottom "Shipping and handling charges are taxable in all states except AK, DE, DC, ID, IL, MA, MT, NH, NJ, OH, OK, OR, UT and WY. " And then I went back to PP and saw that I had 0 for the shipping and handling tax. Click the Change tax rate button on the show screen or the "special tax" button on their order screen, made the change, and everything came out the same after that.

Thank you for your help that solved the problem; i didn't know that you had to put the same tax rate for the shipping and the sales tax and now I know. Thank you again for your help.
