The Base taxes in settings are set to zero but Florida orders keep getting taxed, not sure what to adjust to get it to zero when checking out.
Topic summary
Orders shipping to Florida are still being taxed at checkout even though the store’s base tax setting is set to 0. The poster is seeking what to change so Florida charges zero tax.
- Evidence: two screenshots showing tax settings and a checkout/cart view (images are central to understanding the configuration).
- Suggested fix: remove Florida from the list of states where the store is registered to collect tax so Florida tax will no longer be applied.
- Implication: state-specific tax registration/settings can override a global “base tax = 0” configuration.
Status: No confirmation yet that the change was made or resolved the issue; the thread remains open with the proposed action pending.
If you don’t want to charge tax in Florida, you can just remove Florida from the list of states you are registered to collect tax in…
do you have a step by step or is there another place I’m not looking?
would that not be the 0’s for state tax + added to 0% fed tax in the first screenshot??
Sorry that was my mistake. It looks like you don’t have Shopify Tax active. In Shopify Tax, you simply add the states you want to collect tax from (your own state is automatically added), and remove states you wish to stop collecting from. That base taxes screen appears to be more of a starting point, not an official setting, and Shopify is overriding it and using the correct tax rate. I’d activate Shopify Tax. That way it’s automatic, you don’t have to deal with anything, it won’t charge taxes if the state isn’t added by you.
