The uc_taxes module (part of Ubercart core) allows tax rates to be assigned to product types, so that tax is only applied to certain products in the order.

This is fine in the vast majority of cases. However, sometimes the ability to be more specific about which products are taxed is required. It can also not be convenient to separate taxed/non-taxed products by product type. In these cases taxonomy terms are more useful. (For example, in the store I am building there is a product type of Book. Uk tax laws say that books are exempt from tax, however exercise books are sometimes applicable to tax).

The uc_taxonomy_tax module works using a hook_form_alter, which allows users to select taxonomy terms to attach to a tax rate created by uc_taxes. The hook_calculate_tax() is then used to compare the products in the order with the taxonomy terms, and apply tax where needed.

There is a module that does this for the ecommerce package, but nothing at the moment for Ubercart.

About me....

I have been developing using PHP for around 3 years, and have been using Drupal for almost 1 year.
I fully appreciate the responsibility of being a module maintainer, as well as a CVS account holder. I understand the practices of good coding standards and working in a team of developers.
I am passionate about developing for Drupal and being part of this excellent community.

Thank you
