Guest Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 When I test Checkout with Tax set to TRUE in My Store->Display Prices, I get Sub Total ?9.39 UK Recorded Delivert ?3.47 VAT(17.50%) ?1.40 TOTAL ?12.86 Since the VAT is on the TOTAL, ie., 9.39 + 3.47, it should be ?2.31 and not ?1.40. I wondered if anyone had this before. Thanks in advance for your assistance! Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 It shows VAT on the item, but doesn't add VAT to delivery charges!!!! The price of this item is ?7.99. When I test Checkout with Tax set to TRUE in My Store->Display Prices, I get, Sub Total ?9.39 (its added VAT of ?1.40 here, ie., 7.99 + 1.40 = 9.39) UK Recorded Delivery ?3.47 (Vat not added to deliver charges) VAT(17.50%) ?1.40 TOTAL ?12.86 Also there is no Sub Total. Since the VAT is on the TOTAL, ie., 7.99 + 3.47, it should be ?2.01 and not ?1.40, only on goods. The programs only shows the VAT on the price of the original item, which was ?7.99 I wondered if anyone had this before. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Calum Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I have found a quick and dirty method to make it look correct. If you goto the admin section->modules you can change the sort order as displayed on invoice. so i moved the shipping below the tax and sub-total and it makes sense now but i would prefer the proper method of having the total tax inc the tax on shipping.

Calum Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 To get the poper totals your shipping rate in your delivery module must be set to taxable class. Although technically there is no vat on royalmail post. However when you set this you will come across the same problem i now have. I am coding a workaround to simply take the tax off the shipping and add it to the vat total. I can post code here if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Thanks Calum, Thanks for the assistance! I wanted to have a go at coding, but I'm not too expericnce yet, but I'm learning. I am ex C++ and have only recently received books on PHP and MySQL, so I have a lot of reading ahead of me. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 do you have any modifications on your site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Yes, I recently added the VAT contributiom. It was the, VAT Display_v1.1.zip. Not the Tvaintracom_v4.4_1.zip. This is the simplest modification and only requires a few extra lines added, plus the addition of vat.php. If only I knew what the Tax or VAT total variable was, I could attampt to modify the program and add it to the total. I'm quite new to OSC and don't know which file will contain the VAT or TAX.

Guest Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 What we have to do here, is add the Goods Total to Pastage/Shipping cost and take the VAT of both. Then they should be listed as, Goods Total (ex VAT) Postage VAT Total ie, Variable for Goods Total += Variable for Postage/Shipping calculate VAT or TAX on the above Display VAT on the above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Hi Guys, I just came across your post whilst searching for a solution to a problem I have in the same area. Mine is a really wierd one ... Everything calculates fine except when I pay using PayPal. When I use PayPal the amount that is passed to PayPal is goods + shipping(including VAT). i.e. the goods are passed net of VAT. I have come to the conclusion that the problem is with the PayPal IPN module as when I use WorldPay the correct value is passed and invoiced. Any help on where to look much appreciated.

Then they should be listed as, Goods Total (ex VAT) Postage VAT Total ie, Variable for Goods Total += Variable for Postage/Shipping calculate VAT or TAX on the above Display VAT on the above My Problem is this. if a customer orders 1 product. Then it will show the invoice correct. i.e Product 1 - Total - ex VAT Sub total - ex VAT Delivery - always shows it as inc vat VAT 17.5% - Shows the VAT 17.5% Total - Shows inc VAT However if a customer orders more than 1 product it all changes. I get Product 1 - Total - ex VAT Product 2 - Total - ex VAT Sub total - Has now become INC VAT Delivery - always shows it as inc vat VAT 17.5% - Shows the VAT 17.5% Total - Shows inc VAT same as sub total This always happens when there is more than 1 product being ordered anyone else having this problem, with more than 1 product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgvsean Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Technically you should apply the same rate of VAT to the package as the contents but this really applies to the packaging. Stamps are ZERO rated for tax. If you don't charge VAT to your customers on postage then that is VAT you don't have to pay HMCE. There is no VAT to claim back off on the stamps so you lose out the full amount and not just your mark up. Also as I guess you make a little extra on the P+P you'll pay that too. I would hazard a guess you'll not be imprisoned for life for not charging VAT on stamps. You could also invoice seperatley for the postage and the packaging or add the total cost into your products and offer free post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hkanaris Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Thanks Sean, however my main concern with this is that when a customer orders more than one product, the sub total shows INC Vat not EX VAT. But seems to work fine if a customer orders 1 product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
