I am using the Paypal standard (HTML 'API') to integrate Paypal to my website.
I have managed to display 'subscribe' buttons for recurring payments, using HTML variables as specified in the Paypal documentation. However, there is one serious "show stopper" problem:
I am unable to get Paypal to recognize sales tax amount for RECURRING PAYMENTS.
Despite using the 'tax' field (and setting a positive number to it), the tax is not being displayed on the bill for the recurring item.
Using the 'tax' field for a 'buy now' button does however work correctly (the tax amount is shown on the bill page). Has anyone else experienced this - and what is the solution (or work around for this?)
BTW, I am running in the Paypal sandbox
