Im selling subscriptions with wp estore. Im using paypal so the instant you click on the subscribe button it takes you to paypal.
I need to charge tax for the purchases in my state. I have the regional tax rates set up in paypal and activated. The tax is not being charged. I tried activating the wp estore tax rate and I tried it without activating it. I didnt see any option in the admin to make paypal charge tax. I assumed that paypal would charge it automatically but they are not… Any ideas what could be wrong.
PayPal doesn’t support sales tax with subscription/recurring payment. You can price your subscription item price so it has the tax included in it. Then in the product description, you can mention that the price includes tax/vat.
I haven’t heard any other news about it. If they have changed it then let me know and I will look into it.
Ok, seems that Paypal says yes they do taxes on subscriptions and it seems to work on buttons built in paypal. But not with wp-estore. I can only guess, some field is missing to activate the feature to use tax tables setup in paypal.

Ask them if it can be used with the following standard PayPal API. There are some example button codes there which doesn’t work with “tax” variable:
