    Need bid for adding sales tax rate and taxing district to BasketCharges table process

    We are looking to integrate our checkout OSEL page with the
    Washington State sales tax API. We will call the API when OSEL is rendered, This will
    give us the location code for the taxing district, and the sales tax rate.
    We will be passing these two values as hidden fields on the OSEL form.

    Looking for a developer to do the following:
    We would like to have the sales tax amount calculated using the tax rate received from our API call (from hidden OSEL form field).
    Plus, we would like to have these 2 values (tax rate and taxing district) included in the description column of the BasketCharges table during OSEL page processing. The format would be “WA Sales Tax: x.xx%^0605”. The existing sales tax row in the BasketCharges table is to be used.
    Please contact me offline if interested in helping us with this.
    Thanks, Larry

    Hi Larry.

    I'm also in WA. What are you trying to accomplish beyond what a service like AccurateTax or Avalara offers?

      The goal is to be able to pass the taxing district and tax rate to QuickBooks so we don't need to manually enter it into QB ourselves. Also we can display the actual sales tax amount on OPAY.

      WA state's API can provide the tax rate & tax district if given ship to street address. city, & zip code on OSEL.

        Keitho: I Took a brief look at AccurateTax. It sounds like a good alternative to a custom module. All we really need on the Miva side is a sales tax calculation with the taxing district's tax rate. Do you have any personal experience with it?

          Kent Multer took on the job of creating our sales tax calculation module and this is really going to be kool!
          Our OSEL page, on rendition, uses toolkit's callURL function and the ship to address to access and retrieve the correct tax rate for the customer's (only for WA sales) delivery location using the state's tax rate API. The page then puts that rate into a hidden field in the OSEL form.
          When OSEL is submitted, Kent's module will use that rate (if it's present, otherwise the Miva admin rate will be used) to calculate the correct sales tax amount and places it in the BasketCharges TAX row amount column and puts the percentage into the column carrying the literal: "Sales Tax" followed by the tax percentage.

          No need for us to now adjust sales tax charges when the customer is invoiced, Hooray!!

          Kent's module is generic and can be used in any store in any state if the state has an API that can provide the customer's sales tax rate to OSEL.

          IMHO Everybody who resides in a sales tax state where the ship to sales tax rate can be determined, should consider adding this feature to their store. Actually this should be a standard Miva feature.

          Cheers, Larry
