Rodland Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Is it possible to display prices with tax ONLY if the customer selects UK Sterling and the Euro as the preferred currency, but all other pages, such as US Dollars and outside the eu are displayed without tax, since UK VAT is only applied to EU sales?

Christian Lescuyer Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Taxes are calculated depending on where the customer is, not on the currency. If your customer is logged in, she will see the proper taxes for her country. I am not aware of a system to change the tax calculations depending on the currency (though this seemsa good idea).

Rodland Posted March 8, 2003 Author Share Posted March 8, 2003 how does it do this? Does one have to select 0% tax for zones outside the UK and 17.5% inside the eu? Also, - is there a script that detects where the user is browsing from and selects the currency most relevant to that country (for instance is there a way to detect all American users and show them the pages in US Dollars instead of having them select it automatically)?
