Tax exempt customers?

Recommended Posts

Some of our customers are exempt from paying GST (goods and services tax) because of their profession. Is there a way that I can get the system to recognise this and give them the appropriate total?

 

Also, on the order confirmation and email notification of order, the total tax is still not showing up, although the GST shows up on the invoice in the admin panel.

 

If anyone can help, that would be good. Sarcastic comments about site design are well and good - I'm spending all my time trying to make sure that the commerce back end actually works!

I also need something similar.. Think we have to modify where it pulls out the price.. :-)

 

You might want to have a look at tep_get_tax_rate funciton in catalog/includes/functions/general.php :-)

I got it!

 

I needed to display the prices without tax to customers that are not from Norway.. Anyways, heres how I did it.

 

In catalog/includes/functions/general.php:

 

------------------------------------------

in function tep_add_tax (around line 357), change:

 

if ( (DISPLAY_PRICE_WITH_TAX == 'true') && ($tax > 0) ) {

 

TO

 

if ( (DISPLAY_PRICE_WITH_TAX == 'true') && ($tax > 0) && ($country_id == '160') ) {

------------------------------------------

 

Maybe you can modify this to your needs? :-)

Also, check out Separate Pricing per Customer - it lets you designate customer groups as tax exempt.
