kylebassett Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Sub-Total: $69.99 Discount Coupons:free1: -$15.00 Flat Rate (Best Way): $0.00 8.0% PST (Ontario) + 7.0% GST: $10.50 Total: $65.49 I am using the coupon add on and I'm having an issue regarding tax. It seems to be caculating my tax based on Sub-Total and not on the total after the discount is applied. Can someone help me - how do I make the caculation charge the 15% after the discount. It shold charge - $8.25 in tax - not $10.50 Thanks Kyle Quote

braathwaate Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 What are your settings in Admin->Modules->Order Total->Discount Coupon? Try setting recalculate-tax to true. Hope that helps. Quote
laurton Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Switching it to true cam out with a correct total, but it looks confusing to the end user 10% off of 58.00 this is what I get Discount Coupons:021104: $6.22 Sub-Total: $51.78 MO Sales Tax 7.325%: $3.82 Shipping Rate (UPS): $10.50 Total: $66.52 it's adding the tax to the original total then takies 10% then it subtracts it from the original price THEN it figures tax on my new sub total then gives me a total. Confusing. How can I get this to work correctly and appear correct to the customer Customers would expect to see: Discount Coupons:021104: $5.80 Sub-Total: $52.20 MO Sales Tax 7.325%: $3.82 Shipping Rate (UPS): $10.50 Total: $66.52 How can I fix it to appear like the second Quote
bloodshoteyes Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 (edited) are you sure that coupons reduce your sales tax liability for the full purchase price amount. Most taxing authorities consider coupons as a promotional items which is in most cases a business income reducing expense and a business tax deductable like most cost of sales costs. Most authorites require the purchase be completely totalled and then the coupon deducted from the grand total. But allow it to be shown before the grand total on the invoice. Which on the invoice would fall Sub-total, Taxes, Shipping, Coupon then Grand total. The coupon amount having a minus sign in front of it. You might want to check with your taxing authority before committing Edited February 27, 2004 by bloodshoteyes Quote
laurton Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 You might be right. I'll check it out thanks Quote
laurton Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 This is what I did to fix my problem as far as the tax thing goes. in catalog/includes/modules/order_total/ot_coupon.php Look for this like somewhere around line 40 $order->info['total'] = $order->info['total'] - $od_amount; and replace it with this $order->info['total'] = $order->info['tax'] + $order->info['subtotal'] + $order->info['shipping_cost'] - $od_amount; It worked for me I now get this for an 85.00 order with a 10% discount Discount Coupons:021104: $8.50 Sub-Total: $76.50 MO Sales Tax 7.325%: $5.60 Shipping Rate (UPS): $10.50 Total: $92.60 remember to backup before you make any changes Quote
