This hack speeds up the process of adding products by eliminating the need to keep switching from "--None--" to "Taxable Goods" with every product added.

This is useful if you like me and only have 1 tax class.

Step 1.) Simply open catalog/admin/categories and find around line 444 (I have a modified store) :

}

$tax_class_array = array(array('id' => '0', 'text' => TEXT_NONE));
$tax_class_query = tep_db_query("select tax_class_id, tax_class_title from " . TABLE_TAX_CLASS . " order by tax_class_title");
while ($tax_class = tep_db_fetch_array($tax_class_query)) {
$tax_class_array[] = array('id' => $tax_class['tax_class_id'],
'text' => $tax_class['tax_class_title']);
}

Step 2.) Replace with:

}
//TAX BOX HACK - modified for the default TAX rate, to save having to use the dropdown box!
//$tax_class_array = array(array('id' => '0', 'text' => TEXT_NONE));
$tax_class_array = array(array('id' => '1', 'text' => 'Taxable Goods'));
//EOF TAX BOX HACK - modified for the defualt TAX rate, to save having to use the dropdown box!
$tax_class_query = tep_db_query("select tax_class_id, tax_class_title from " . TABLE_TAX_CLASS . " order by tax_class_title");
while ($tax_class = tep_db_fetch_array($tax_class_query)) {
$tax_class_array[] = array('id' => $tax_class['tax_class_id'],
'text' => $tax_class['tax_class_title']);
}

Thats it!

Just make sure where the id has changed to "1" this is the actual ID you are using!
