Woocommerce-services: Shipping tax amount is still being reflected in the total tax charged when shipping marked as being non-taxable

Shipping tax amount is still being reflected in the total tax charged when shipping marked as being non-taxable.

Affected Tickets:

1197035-zen

Testing Environment:

• WooCommerce - 3.4.1
• WooCommerce Services - 1.14.1

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a product with the price $2.00
• Set the Flat Rate to be $4.99 and non-taxable:

• Shop Origin address:

16 Inverness Place East
Bldg D-200
Englewood, CO, 80112, US

• Enable automated taxes

• Place an order with the following shipping address:

1300 N. Burlington Dr.
Castle Rock, CO 80104

• You will see the following:

Explanation of the charges:

• $2.00 (wristband)

• $4.99 (shipping)

• $0.20 cents (2.9% sales tax) on the total amount of product + shipping

• $7.19 Total

• $7.05 Woo Commerce charged

• $0.14 cents discrepancy - which is the tax on shipping that is supposed to be non-taxable

In order to fix it, CO Tax: line should say $0.06.

This will be fixed when we bring our TaxJar integration up to date, in this PR: https://github.com/Automattic/woocommerce-services/pull/1398

The bug was fixed a few months ago in the TaxJar plugin, here: https://github.com/taxjar/taxjar-woocommerce-plugin/pull/64 , we just need to port the changes back.

Hi @DanReyLop, I am following up on this bug. Was it fixed in the recent WC Services release by any chance? It looks like it could be from the changelog. Thanks!

@juliaamosova Yes, this is fixed in 1.15.0, we updated the TaxJar integration and that included a fix for this (and many others, too many to put in the changelog, we were around 6 months behind).
