I started a new thread because the only other one I could find was a few years old and this is 1.5.6
I have OpenCart 1.5.6 and when on the shopping cart page it always puts Texas sales tax. If you select estimate shipping and taxes and selct another state beside Texas, then it will remove it. But I am getting complaints about this and may be losing sales as well. Is there a way to stop this or just remove the sales tax untill the final order is ready for review?
I tried going to settings and changing it to payment address then back to shipping. I even tried none. I have considered changing the state my store is in to someone out of the US. I hope someone can chime in with this.
It may be that when I click on the estimate shipping and taxes it is because Texas is already in there. I am hoping a new user would not have that already selected. But it may be the default since the store is located in Texas. Perhaps someone can add something to their cart and then check the shopping cart to see if it is defaulting to Texas and post a reply here, or you can email me at wardntx@gmail.com

EDIT: See Johnathan's answer below instead, that's the way it should be done.
After some investigating looks as though Opencart does indeed set the tax zone to the store's if none is set in the session. Check system/library/tax.php in line 16 (depending on your version) where it reads:
Without more checking it's tough to say if there would be any errors generated but you can probably just comment this out.[/color]
