Re-calculate tax in Gift Voucher?

[redrum]

I'm trying to re-calculate the tax in the Gift Voucher (CCGV-cotrib).

 

If I use 'standard' everything become a mess. The Tax is wrong as well as the Total.

If I use 'Credit Note' the Total becomes as it should, but the Tax just not get updated.

 

I have tried several settings for several hous in order total in admin, without any results.

 

All I want to do is update and reduce the tax. Can anyone help me?

why are you charging tax on an 'eproduct' where it is equal money for them to use later on on your store, where you charge tax for a product?

if you go into a store locally and purchase a gift certificate for $50 then they charge you $50 not $50 plus tax, as you have not really purchased anything other than something you can use to purchase a product and then at that time charge tax.

if i were purchasing a gift certificate on your store and saw tax then i would leave immediately and ask you to remove my information from your store.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, sorry for that.

 

Here some figures based for my market with the tax we have here, and thats Sweden. We use $ and 25% in this example:

Let say I sell one Gift Voucher for $100, then I have to pay $20 in tax. When you checkout you just pay $100. You can also see the tax, which is $20, specified. So far so good.

(and yes, we have 25% VAT in Sweden :angry: )

 

But here's my problem,

When the customer choose to use the Gift Voucher and check out, the specified tax is not updated, it still specify $20. And since I already payed the tax once to the IRS the first time, I don't want it to do it again.

The same problem occurs if I give away a Gift Voucher. Then I don't wan't to pay $20 of tax for an item I gave away.

 

To refer to your example with the store, when you purchase a Gift Voucher the store enter the purchase in the cash registrer, but when you redeem your Gift Voucher he dont enter that once again in the cash register. Because then the paper will show that he had sold items for $200, but it is only $100 in the cash register. And the IRS will take $50

i think you should tax in the end, when an actual dollar value is put towards a tangible product. then you dont have to worry about when the tax is paid, etc. but that may not figure with what you do in sweden. i know in canada on the clients i have there we dont do it that way.

You might be right about that. I have to check that with someone at the office.

If thats the case, then I probably should set the Gift Voucher as non taxable goods in the shop, to not get double taxed.

 

You made a couple of things clearer for me, thanks.

But it would be nice if it was Possible to have the option to set it so it would update the specified tax during the checout process.

I have tried all possible orders in the sort order under order totals. But I cat get it to update the tax.

'Credit note' does not update it at all and 'Standard' update the vat very strangely, its set it between 1 and 9 SEK when it should be 10 SEK depending on what parameters I use in gift voucher under order totals.

 

Does the specified vat get updated in the check out precess when you choose 'Credit note'?

I did the install whit beyond compare and perhaps I missed a line for the 'Credit note' in gift voucher

 

I checked the tax law i sweden for gift voucher, and the tax/vat should be included when you sell the gift voucher. And then you need it to be deducted on the redeem to get the right figures on the invoice.

The 'Credit Note' for Gift voucher in admin/modules/order total does not seems work and does not update/re-calculate the tax when tax is included in price. I just tried with an clean install.

 

If anyone got a solution for this that would be nice
