Non Uk Mainland TAX Exemption

[Benn]

Hi, ive done a search, serveral searches to find the specific information & step by step guide to creating new location, and creating a new Zone that can Be made exempt, though havent found exactly what im looking for. So i Do apologise if its there and ive not found it already.

In the Tax section, Ive created a New Zone 'Non Uk Mainland' and the only Zone members that come up is 'Guernsey'..anyway when i highlight 'Guernsey' or 'Non Uk Mainland' it wont allow me to tick the box to Exempt it.

can somebody give me a clear guide to solve this. step by step if possible. ive been playing around with it for a while now but with no luck.

Many Thanks
Benn

Hi Benn,

You can create a new tax zone by doing the following:

- in the 'Settings | Business Settings | Tax' panel, click the 'Add Zone' button
- enter a 'Tax Zone Name' and add the countries you want in this zone from the panel on the right into the panel on the left
- click 'OK'
- with this zone highlighted, you will see underneath 'Taxes levied in nn zone' (where 'nn' is the name of your new zone)
- select the tax rate to be applied to this zone in the 'Tax 1' field and then the 'Allow Exemption' box will become available.

If you want to add countries that are not already in the list then you need to go to 'Settings | Locations' and create your new 'countries' there first. Note that some Payment Service Providers require ISO country codes to be passed across to them (ie Paypal and HSBC) so you may come across problems if you do not use ISO codes.
