Washington State Sales Tax

Drupal Commerce note: This module is not compatible with Drupal Commerce, and as of this writing, Drupal Commerce doesn't actually support sales tax at all yet. When Drupal Commerce supports sales tax, I will make a release of this module for Drupal Commerce.

This module calculates Washington State Sales Tax for the Ubercart module. Washington State has destination-based sales tax, meaning the seller has to charge sales tax based on the location the product is delivered to, rather than based on the location of the store/business. Thus, the tax rate is variable, and because there are literally hundreds of possible destination rates a simple sales tax setup in Ubercart will not work for Washington.

In this module, Tax is calculated based on the purchaser's shipping address (or billing address, for non-shippable purchases), and the tax rate is found via address lookup on the Washington State Department of Revenue's web site, so that it always uses the most recent tax rate information.

Installation and Configuration

After installing this module in the normal way, you'll need to visit the config page, which you can find inside the Ubercart configuration menu (path: admin/store/settings/uc_tax_wa). You'll need to choose which product types and line items are taxable, at a minimum, in order to generate any taxes.

More details on module configuration and the tax calculation can be found in the README.txt file in the module zip.

Other States

• Kansas: http://drupal.org/project/uc_tax_ks
• If your state charges tax based on the seller's location rather than the buyer's location, you do not need a special module to handle it (you can just use Ubercart's normal tax methods to set up a constant rate).
• Contact the developer (see below) if you would like to sponsor development of a tax module for another state with destination-based sales tax.
