Tax Changes After Customer Updates Shipping Address at Checkout

Hi everyone,

I'm testing tax calculations in AbanteCart and noticed something I'm not sure about.

When a customer first adds products to the cart, the estimated tax is calculated correctly based on the default location. However, after changing the shipping country or region during checkout, the tax doesn't always refresh immediately. In some cases I have to refresh the page or go back to the cart before the correct tax amount appears.

Is this expected behavior, or should AbanteCart automatically recalculate taxes as soon as the shipping address is updated?

I'm using the default tax system with Geo Zones and Tax Classes, and shipping rates update correctly—the issue only seems to affect the tax amount.

Has anyone experienced this or found a configuration that forces the tax to recalculate instantly?

Thanks in advance!
