Tax corrections

I have searched the forum for this for a long time now, and all I found had something to do with the sort order, which I know has nothing to do with my problem (I have checked and double checked)

 

The sort order is:

Sub-total = 1

Discount = 2

Tax = 3

Total = 4

 

In my shop, taxes are included in the total, so if there is no discount, sub-total = total

 

But my problem is that the taxes don't take the discount into consideration, so if we have a discount the taxes are shown higher than it should be.

It doesn't affect my Total, so it's not a total disaster, but it is somewhat of a problem due to some laws (we have to show the value added tax).

 

So could someone help me on how to change the calculation of the tax so it takes the discount into consideration before calculating?

 

btw: the discount contribution I am using is the Percentage Discount w/ Quantity + Category Exclusion

Anders,

 

 

Show your discount before your subtotal, then the discount has NOTHING to do with the taxes. It would be sub-total, plus taxes equals total.

 

The discount amount would have nothing to do with the taxable amount.

Well the problem is actually (I see that now) that swithing order doesn't have any effect.

 

I can set:

 

discount

sub-total

tax

total

 

no changes, or:

 

 

discount

sub-total

total

tax

 

still no changes.

 

 

 

Well actually my tax should just be 25% of the total, would it be possible to just make it show 25% of total, instead of sub-total? so it doesn't have to calculate on the sub-total and discount but only the total?

Anders,

 

If you have your taxes set up properly in admin, then it should be showing 25% of the sub-total already. That is why I suggested you place the discount amount before the sub-total.
