Changing the Option to Use the Customer Tax Address in OpenCart 1.5

Changing the option to use the Customer Tax Address is an option in the OpenCart 1.5 Administrator that is used when a user is logged into the storefront.  It can be set to calculate tax based on a customer's shipping or payment address or set to NONE so that tax is not determined.  This tutorial shows you how the option is changed in the settings for the Administrator Dashboard below.
