No Tax on Gift Certificates

How do I avoid charging tax for gift certificates for those states where tax is added for standard products?

As far as I am aware, Virtuemart does not give this ability to tax/not tax specific products in state taxes. This is the closest I could find to it, but it deals with VAT: http://dev.virtuemart.net/redmine/issues/166

Has this issue been fixed in 2.018a? I just purchased Awocoupon Pro and going crazy trying to find a workaround. Thanks.

For Virtuemart 2, taxes is controlled in the taxes and calculation rules, you should be able to avoid it for specific product there.

Update to post. VM 2.0.20b takes care of this miserable issue. Rejoice! :)

I am using version 2.4.9 of AWO Coupon Pro. Joomla version 3.5.1. Virtuemart version 3.0.16. I an having this same problem. There are 4 product categories in my store. One of those categories is "Gift Certificates" I have 2 Gift certificate products, both assigned to the Gift Certificate category. I have a tax rule that charges 7.5% sales tax on purchases made by Ohio Residents. I have that rule applied to all of my product categories EXCEPT for Gift Certificates. But when the Gift Certificate is put in the cart the 7.5% tax is added. I've been searching for an answer for 2 days now. How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Mike

Seyi solved this issue for me. I wish to thank him for his patience. I had been trying to solve this for several days and was becoming quite frustrated. Seyi saved the day! Thank you

You are welcome. To anyone else who might be interested in the solution for Virtuemart 3.0.16:

I had the same issue and as I stated previously, it was solved. This is what I did.

That is a better solution. If you do not need any of the calc rules, then on the product apply no rules. Requires no code changes.
