I signed up for Tax Cloud and use Woo Tax to calculate tax. I am trying to only collect sales tax when shipping to WA. Some of my products' tax status is set to none while some is set to taxable. When I changed my shipping address on the taxable products the sales tax still showed up, even if the state I chose was listed as states without sales tax in tax cloud. When I chose products tax status none then I got no sales tax, even if I was shipping to WA.
My question is two-fold: 1) Does tax status taxable mean it will add sales tax no matter what?, and 2) what can I do to make sure any and all products get sales tax when shipping to WA?
When using WooTax and TaxCloud, you should leave the WooCommerce "Tax Status" property as "Taxable" (regardless of your local laws - I will explain).
This is because TaxCloud automatically determines the taxable status of what you are selling based upon the Taxability Information Code (TIC) selected (drop-down menu right below the main edit product panel). The TIC along with your orders' origin and destination addresses, and your TaxCloud configuration control where you collect sales tax, and how much sales tax is due and collected.
This way, if you are selling clothing or prewritten software, or any of the other categories of goods options possible, you do not have to know if the item is taxable, exempt, or partially exempt in the jurisdiction of your customer - just select the TIC category, and TaxCloud will handle it correctly for each transaction's unique fact pattern (including sales tax holidays).
So, to answer your questions:
Be sure the product Tax Status is set to Taxable, to ensure
WooCommerce doesn't try to hide the item from TaxCloud for
calculation.
Be sure to set the appropriate TIC code for the
product (review all the options).
Within TaxCloud, in the "Tax States" area, configure where
you want to collect sales tax.
One more thing... Review your WooCommerce --> Settings --> Tax area to be sure everything is configured correctly:
Enable Taxes: True (Checked)
Prices Entered With Tax: No
Calculate Tax Based On: Customer Shipping Address
Shipping Tax Class: Based upon cart items
Rounding: Unchecked
Additional Tax Classes: [irrelevant - overridden by TaxCloud TIC for each product]
Display Prices in the Shop: Excluding Tax
Display Prices During Cart and Checkout: Excluding Tax
Display Tax Totals:: Itemized
That's all there is to it. Please feel free to call or email TaxCloud customer service if we can help in any way.
Thanks!

Problem: When setting up a site I forgot to activate taxes. My accountant asked me to correct it so I tried the Woocommerce recalculating button on completed (older) orders. Unfortunately, it ignores the setting that VAT is included in the product price and adds tax to product price (increasing the total order amount incorrectly)
Activated taxes for new orders
Now when placing a new order, the tax (21%) gets show correctly on checkout and invoice. The tax is included in the price & order total.
Product price 14,95
Tax 3,14 (product price excl. tax 12,35)
Total: 14,95
Recalculating old orders
For older orders when tax was not enabled however it is a different story:
Woocommerce offers the ability to recalculate orders. If I do this for an old order: the tax is added to the product price instead of shown to be included in the product price.
Product price 14,95
Tax 3,14
Total: 18,09
As you can see recalculation ignores the setting that the product price includes VAT.
Have you seen this behaviour, or do you have an idea how to solve this problem?
When creating manual orders, usually you have to set a custom price for the product. When clicking on "Recalculate", it calculates the taxes and adds them to it
Since I already have "Load prices by country" to get the system price and taxes,
Would it be possible for manual pricing to just calculate the tax according to the price set without adding the result to the total?
I'm seeing that the button has a calculate-action class:
Maybe if I find the function that that class triggers I can modify it for my purpose?
I think you should define tax and shipping country wise
Go to woocommerce -> settings -> Tax -> Standard rates and define taxes country wise
Go to woocommerce -> settings -> shipping and define shipping country wise

I have 2 products on the site and using tax on them. One product has priced $38.00 and showing price excluding tax on product detail page that is $34.55. The other product has $88.00 price but on the detail page, it is showing $88.00 instead it should show price excluding tax i.e $80.00.
Here are the Tax settings I am using:
When adding product I set Tax status as Taxable and set Tax class as Standard. Both the products have same settings but one is showing price excluding tax and other is showing price including tax on the detail page. I don't understand what is the issue.
UPDATE
Here is the price configuration of both the products:
The product whose price is not showing excluding Tax:
The product whose price is showing excluding Tax:
Can anyone help me to get this issue fixed?
Thanks in Advance
I've implemented a filter as per this WooCommerce article on taxes:
add_filter('woocommerce_adjust_non_base_location_prices', '__return_false');
This effectively 'ignores' tax rates on checkout: an €8,99 product (where prices are added inclusive of tax) being sold from a UK store will cost €8,99 to a German customer, a French customer or an ROI customer. This all works fine on the front end.
However, I just created an order in the backend for a German customer, and that €8,99 product is being added to the order at €7,49 with no tax. I understand from a tax perspective why this is happening (a UK store selling in Germany shouldn't apply tax, so 8.99 - 20% UK VAT = 7.49), however this seems to be ignoring my woocommerce_adjust_non_base_location_prices filter.
At the moment my filter call is just a single line in a custom plugin, so being implemented at plugins_loaded, I guess. There's no condition for it (e.g. if (!is_admin()) {}), so I'm wondering if I need some other kind of condition to ensure it is applied to admin orders, or if I'm looking at a bug?
I'm using WooCommerce and the Dynamic Pricing extension. I've set pricing discounts for 2 user roles (Dealers and Distributors) with the extension. Currently, if I set a sale price on a product, the sale price is reflected for all user roles, and the extension discount for Dealers and Distributors is then compounded on top of it.
How would I conditionally state that if the user is a Dealer or Distributor, remove the sale price but still apply the price discount that's set in Dynamic Pricing?
