    Hello,

     

    I am trying to integrate paypal into a form but not charge tax.  I have fiddled with the tax button several times and tax is always showing up and charging my client.  Can you help me remove this charge?

    Hi,

    I guess your issue with taxes is related to PayPal. Please make sure you disable the Sales Tax option on your PayPal account too, not only on JotForm. Because when I submit your form the checkout page shows the exact same amount with the amount on your form. Please check it and see if the issue still persists. 

    If you need any further assistance please contact us again.

    It's is disabled on PayPal as I use it on another page with no issue. The problem persists with kitchen. Can you check again as I will not be able to use jot form if we can't figure it out?

    Hi,

    Is this the form that you refer to?

    If so, I checked your PayPal integration settings in this form and everything seems to be in order regarding the taxing matters. I suggest you to check your PayPal taxing settings carefully since it should be the cause of your issue.

    Uses, everything looks in order but it still charges a tax on checkout. I have the same PayPal account integrated on my website and there is no sales tax problem. However on jot form, in the form you pointed out, even though I select zero tax and exempt all my products it still charged tax on check out. Can you see if there is something malfunctioning?

    The Tax option is actually enabled on your form https://www.jotform.com/62747690639167

    to fix the issue, set the Tax location option to None.

    I know I added that to see the tax, whether enabled or not it was adding tax. The tax should be zero % but is still adding tax.

    Hi,

    I tested your form directly and made a submission, so far I was not able to get any tax on the checkout page. Here's a screencast on how I filled out your form:

    Here's the screenshot of the checkout page:

    I also cloned your form and tested it on my personal account, I was not able to replicate the problem. Could you please try clearing your browser's cache and/or use a different browser to see if the problem persist there?

    If you can provide us a screenshot of the tax being added, that will help, it might be more related to Paypal that JotForm.

    We'll wait for your response.
