  3. Add the Geozone to the tax rate you have created.. Open the tax rate you have created and the geozone you have created will be listed in the Geo Zone list.

Configured all the things properly but still tax is not showing.Why?

You might have missed one most important step. You should add the tax profile to the product.

Open the product, go to J2Store cart and navigate to the general tab.

Add your tax profile created.

Why tax is not displayed when changing the setting of the tax calculation from billing address to the delivery address?

If you choose shipping address in J2Store Tax configuration then you should also change the associated address to shipping address in the tax profile.

Go to tax profile and set the associate address as shipping address.

Why tax information is showing as “Excl.tax” even you have chosen including tax in configuration

Seems to be choosing of wrong default customer address.

In your tax configuration, you might have chosen default customer address as “No address”. Here should choose store address as default customer address.

Because, the guest customers don’t have any billing or shipping address so in this case, it will take default address as store address to display the correct tax information.

HOW TO Apply tax to all customers comes from world wide?

It is very simple. Just create one geozone and include all countries.

Go to J2Store > Localisation > GeozonesClick NewEnter Geozone name and choose the status EnabledSave.

After saving, you can see Import countries button. Click Import countries button to import all countries and save.

Now assign this geozone to your tax rate.
