P3 Sales Tax Calculation for Ohio Seller Shipping to Virginia Beach

[buckeyefan08]

I have a host here in Ohio with a 6.75% sales tax rate. Her DIL who lives in Virginia Beach ordered from her show and is having the order direct shipped. When I plugged all the info into P3 her tax rate came up as 0% and food tax as 2.5%. When I go to finalize the order there is a warning flag saying her tax is 0%. All of this populated through the program I didn't fill it in myself. Am I doing something wrong or does this seem right?

Tax is figured according to where the product is being shipped. When I went to the PP3 seminar at NC I thought they told me tax is automatic within 100 miles. I am sure there is more than 100 miles from Ohio to Virginia Beach. So, I think you have to manually input the sales tax. Those rates are on CC.

Lisa, the tax rate here in Virginia is 5%. You'll have to click "Enter Manually" in P3 to correct it.

When you enter in the zip code, there's a place to click that looks up the tax code. It opens up a new browser on-line and you put in the zip code again and it'll verify what it should be. Then you can manually enter it in to P3. HTH

I never understood why it didn't do everywhere. If they have the info online, why isn't it in the software? It's not like they knew when they made the CD that someone in Nashville was going to be using it.

That's one of the great PC mysteries to me. That and what the difference is between samples and supplies.

Do the tax rate lookup on CC. Unless you enter it manually, the software will "guess" and its guess is usually wrong. It will come up as an error on P3.

Generally, samples are products; supplies are paperwork. There are a few products available on the supply form, but they're the exception to the rule.
