[Solved] VAT wrongly calculated at checkout and invoice

[apprentice]

Hi,

 

I hope you can help me fix this problem which is preventing my shop from going live and it's taking very long for me to figure out what is wrong. The problem is that the VAT is being calculated wrong at checkout and therefore in the invoice too. It basically calculates a VAT of 15,25% instead of 18% as it should be.

 

 

 

- Visualisation method of prices for group is predetermined : including TAX

- Trasportation: all deliveries include TAX

 

Thank you

A.

Hi,

 

i have exactly the same problem. I need to charge 19% tax on my products but the VAT is not calculated correctly!

 

I've version 1.4.5.1 but i've also tried with the newest version 1.4.7.0 but the results are the same.

 

Like Apprentice, this problem is preventing me of launching my webstore.

 

Your help is highly appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Jcosalvador

Hi jcosalvador,

 

Have you been able to solve this issue? I opened a bug given the lack of response in the forum, I consider this to be a critical issue. I hope we get some help from somewhere, this is the link to the bug report in case you want to follow it:

Good luck!

 

I attach the PDF.php from version 1.4.6.2 in case someone can take a look and see if the problem is there. The tax at the checkout is basically being calculated wrong. I've checked in MySQL the tables related to TAX and all seems to be ok, there is only one VAT created with is 18% and the cart calculates a lower VAT from the total (excluding shipping).

Hi apprentice,

 

unfortunately i still have the problem. What i did as a workaround was the following:

 

- set the price (including the VAT) in the

Pre-tax retail price

- select No tax on the Tax rule

-

disabled the online invoice (so the client can't see the reference to the tax - which of course shows 0€). I will send the invoice together with the products

- under customers/groups i have set the Price Display Method to Tax Included

 

The only place where the client can see the Total Tax (which is 0€) is on the Cart Summary, but i'm hopping that most of people will miss this detail. :/

 

This was the only way to be able to enable the store on the advertised date.

 

Let's hope for a fast resolution,

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

I feel quite ashamed but I must admit that there was no problem with the VAT from the shop side. It was just me making wrong calculations!!

 

I hope it is ok for you jcosalvador

 

Cheers
