Easy Discount & Sales Tax

[fdelarosa59]

I've posted this in the support thread for Easy Discount, as well as other people, but have yet to see any response so please excuse me for posting here. Is the support thread dead? Is boxtel on vacation?

 

I have installed Easy Discounts and Easy Coupons on an osC2.2 MS2 store with PayPal_IPN v2.2. The problem is that the sales tax is being calculated at the original price, not the discounted price. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm new to PHP so I don't how to go about fixing this myself.

 

Thank you

It may have something to do with the way you have teh Admin > Modules > Order Totals Module sort order setup. I use Easy Discount and Account Balance so this is how I have mine setup, you may need to work with it a little to work for you..

• Easy Discount 1
  
• Sub Total 2
  
• Shipping 3
  
• Tax 4
  
• Account Balance 5
  
• Total 6
  

Hope this helps.

Ok, The order does not matter. With 2 items totaling $15.98 I give a 5% discount, which comes out to $15.18. the tax shown is $1.32. The CA sales tax for our area is 8.25% which is $1.25 for $15.18.

 

I found this in 'checkout_process.php':

 

$total_tax += tep_calculate_tax($total_products_price, $products_tax) * $order->products[$i]['qty'];

 

Does this mean it is calculating the tax based on the total of the products before the discount is given? Am I reading this correctly? Should it not calculate the tax based on the sub-total?

 

Any help is appreciated

Thank you

All I can say is for the past 8 months I have been using it this way and it works. Have you tried going into the Admin panel under Modules and configuring the Order Total Module as I have them listed?
