Checkout Country and Region for calculating taxes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Nicolaas!

It would be interesting to include in the checkout page a combobox for country 
and one for region.
In this way we could calculate the tax directly on this page.

See screenshot.

Thanks!

Hi Nicolaas!

After thinking more.
Surely the best way to improve the tax module would be to select which fields 
could affect taxes and that these fields may appear in the bottom of the 
checkout page.

See screenshot.

What do you think?

Hi Jose

As far as country goes - the system should know where you are from.  This does 
not work for regions. 

I think these sort of changes are better made on individual sites. That is, the 
exact implementation is going to depend on a case by case basis.

You have to think about the steps in the checkout and change them as works best 
for your project.

For example, you could ONLY show the items (and NOT modifiers) on the first 
step of the checkout.

I think the role of the Tax Module is firstly to let it work out what the tax 
is and be flexible enough to let all the affecting factors be editable (in a 
custom development), etc...

For example, region, company and VAT number are only relevant in some 
countries. 

What I would like to do is to explain HOW you can setup this sort of things, 
easily. 

So this ticket is about having an easy way to add fields to the first step of 
the checkout, etc....

Yes. You're right. The alternative is to remove the modifiers from the first 
step and display them before making payment.

Could you give me some small indications to do this?

Thanks Nicolaas!
