On checkout I have shipping cost, and VAT calculated if the shipping address is in South Africa. My cart and payment is in USD. When I am transferred to the Setcom site to finalise the payment, the shipping cost appears as a line item, but not the VAT. As a matter a fact there is no sign of the VAT amount. What could be wrong?

Hi
VAT was never intended to be a seperate line item, but part of the total price as it is not a default Ubercart function.
How do you calculate the VAT. Do you use a VAT module?

I am using a Conditional Action to calculate the VAT when the purchaser is in South Africa. It works well, and is displayed correctly on the site, and included in the total amount payable. Just as is the case with shipping costs. When the user gets transferred to the Setcom site to finalise the payment, I see the product items displayed, a line item for shipping, two sub-totals (one for shipping, one for VAT - both with a zero value) and an order total. I need to have VAT added only for shipping to an address in SA. Any suggestions?
