Taxes - OSC is charging tax to the shipping too

[ASJ]

I have my taxes set at the FL rate of 7%. It is working like a charm except that it is also charging tax to the shipping. :blink:

 

So it is adding the total + shipping then applying the tax to that total. I believe that it is against the law to do that and I don't know why it's doing it. :o

 

I was wondering if it could be the Order Total Modules and the order that they're in.

 

Someone please help!!! Thanks in advance.

I apologize - I fixed the problem by changing the order of the tax module. :blush:

I just came up with the same problem.. also FL as a matter of fact.. I changed the order but maybe not the same way you did..

 

Sub-Total 1

Tax 2

Shipping 3

Cash on Delivery Fee 4

Total 5

 

 

> > Sub-Total: $50.48

> > FL TAX 6.0%: $3.03

> > Table Rate (Best Way -- based on the total of your order): $10.50

> > Total: $64.64

 

So while the tax line was properly calculated at $3.03 but when all was said and done it evidently recalculated on the sub-total PLUS the shipping

 

50.48+10.50 = 60.98

 

60.98 * .06 = 3.66

 

60.95 + 3.66 = 64.64

 

OK so this is a mere 0.63 difference, but I need to fix this!!

 

 

I am a little leery of just moving this stuff around:

 

Sub-Total 1

Tax 2

Total 3

Shipping 4

Cash on Delivery Fee 5

 

or is that the right way to fix this???

I wastd a TON of time on this.. so simple it illuded me and figured I'd make note for someone else..

 

If your cart is figuring tax on shipping and you do not want that, make sure in Modules:Shipping that the rates you are using are NOT assigned to any tax rate

 

Table Rate

 

Enable Table Method

True

 

Shipping Table

49.99:8.50,74.99:10.50,98.99:12.00,99.99:0.00

So it looks like I am encountering the same problem. We recently upgraded, so I don't know if I wrote over something accidentally.

 

Anyway here's an example of what's going on...

 

1 Widget $39.95

1 Widget Book $7.95

 

FL Sales Tax $3.35

 

Shipping: $9.95 (Table Rate)

 

The total on the sales invoice comes to: $61.90

But when you add up the figures above from the actual invoice, you get $61.20

The math isn't right somewhere.

 

My Order Total is set in this order:

Sub-Total 1 - starts with the sub

Tax 2 - adds the tax since you can't tax shipping

Discount Coupons 3 - removes the discount amount (if any

Shipping 4 - adds shipping to total

Total 6 - creates the total

 

It is adding in .70 somewhere. I remember reading awhile back that there was somewhere in the admin where you there was a fee somewhere that is set at like .70 or something by default... anyway, any ideas on this problem?

 

I hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance.

Shipping: $9.95 (Table Rate)

 

The total on the sales invoice comes to: $61.90 - But when you correctly add up the figures above from the actual invoice, you get $61.20

It seems that it is actually adding in the shipping cost to the subtotal before applying the tax.

 

My Order Total is set in this order:

Sub-Total 1 - starts with the sub

Tax 2 - adds the tax since you can't tax shipping

Discount Coupons 3 - removes the discount amount (if any

Shipping 4 - adds shipping to total

Total 6 - creates the total

 

I have already made sure that I am not applying tax in the shipping module,etc.

 

Any ideas on this problem?

 

I hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance.

Aaron-

 

A couple possibilities: the site is somehow adding extra tax based on the positive value of the discount coupon.

Or, there is a "ghost" tax rate still saved in your database, check the database directly (not through admin) to make sure only tax rates, classes, etc, that should exist are saved there.

Or, you made a mistake in your own calcuations. :)

Oh, and you read wkdwich's post about the tax zone setting in the shipping module, correct?
