I like Jonathan's solution, but I don't think my client will go for it. For now I'll recreate the address fields. This would be a great feature improvement for the plugin. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-we-calculate-tax-by-state#post-92466 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 23:38:49 +0000 Chris Hajer 92466@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm sure there is a way but I've never looked into it.

However, I use the Advanced Address Field and state isn't an option in the drop-down menu. What are my options?<br /> Can you do this when you're using the Advanced Address field? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-we-calculate-tax-by-state#post-91527 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:13:55 +0000 taropaa 91527@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>i, I looked into this as well. Here is how I solved the whole tax issue without hacking at the plugin:</p> <p>I added a product, removed the quantity field and set the type to calculation. That is how I get one type of tax calculated. The formula I set is ({Select your Table:2}*{Number of Tables:4})*0.13 </p> <p>In this example the table is the product and the number of tables is the quantity.<br /> The result is an extra item that is the tax, so you don't really need any crazy mods to the plugin. </p> <p>Also, for state specific taxes, add one such product field per state and use conditional logic to bind it to the states (such as "if state is California then display field" that would be the conditional logic for the California tax product). </p> <p>That way taxes show up as a separate entry in your DB. </p> <p>Hopefully it makes sense, it fixed my issue within 5 minutes, and didn't even have to get my hands dirty. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-we-calculate-tax-by-state#post-89342 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 16:12:33 +0000 David Peralty 89342@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you give me information on where you are getting stuck? If you create a product field that is a calculation and is conditionally displayed based on state selection, does that not work? You mentioned you wanted it for California, so can you test against that? I'm assuming the issue lies in that you are comparing against the state in a complex address field, versus a dropdown loaded with state options? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-we-calculate-tax-by-state#post-88044 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 16:45:55 +0000 matsilva 88044@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am attempting to calculate tax by the state which the user selects from the shipping address using your PayPal Pro add-on.</p> <p>The information here <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gravity_Forms_Pricing:_Adding_Tax" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gravity_Forms_Pricing:_Adding_Tax</a> was a little vague because the merge tags may not work so well when you have multi choices items that are separate options. Or I could just have the formula incorrect.</p> <p>Is this possible? I only want to charge tax when someone's shipping address is in California. </p>
