Can anyone explain TAXES in Litecart to me.

I [i][b]don't want[/b][/i] taxes "showing" until checkout.
(Like Amazon and 1,000's of other stores in the US)

If a Customer buys a product from Mobile Alabama, will the appropriate state tax be added?
(Just tried it, it don't add the tax)
Is there a tax module needed for taxes?

I currently don't have the Stripe module (or any other payment gateway), but will add it once I get my store finished and ready for business.

Thanks,
BS

It is better to see the TAX included because otherwise people may think the TAX needs to be calculated :-)
Thats why I never buy at Amazon :-)
Otherwise use F12

Change /includes/templates/default.catalog/css/app.css; 658

box-product .tax {

color: #999;
display: none;     Add this line
}

Thanks Tonny.

Everyone in the US buys from online stores where tax is the "hidden surprise" we all know is coming.
We are "use to it".
I want to have a store that is the "Norm", so as not to scare customers away thinking tax would still be added, even though it stated tax was included in the price.
Consumer logic, "don't change what all other stores are doing because it confuses customers"...

I added the code, displayed tax info gone.

Thanks!

Question remains...

Is a tax module needed to add tax for all 50 US states?
Or is that something I have to add myself in "Tax Rates" settings?

To be different is how you get noticed :-)
To be clear you are more trustfull.

I can not imagine that a price can be displayed for customers without TAX notification.
But Ok i am in the EU.
If there are states wih different TAX rates the you have to set them.

If you want to remove tax displayed on the product page it's here:
https://github.com/litecart/litecart/blob/dev/public_html/includes/templates/default.catalog/views/box_product.inc.php#L140-L146

If you want prices not to be displayed including tax it's an option here:
https://demo.litecart.net/regional_settings

This is if you want the toggle displayed:
https://github.com/litecart/litecart/blob/dev/public_html/includes/templates/default.catalog/pages/regional_settings.inc.php#L55-L58

And this is where it gets it's default setting:
https://demo.litecart.net/admin/?app=settings&doc=defaults&page=1&action=edit&key=default_display_prices_including_tax

Thanks Tim,
I have it working.
