Why does {total_shipping} include taxes in order confirmation email?

[Ravenous]

Hi,

I was wondering why the {total_shipping} variable is set to the order's shipping tax-inclusive value in the order confirmation email.

Based on https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/blob/develop/classes/PaymentModule.php

Line 335

$order->total_shipping = $order->total_shipping_tax_incl;

 

Line 810

{total_shipping}' => Tools::displayPrice($order->total_shipping, $this->context->currency, false)

 

This has a confusing result, see attached image.

The end result is indeed correct, which is 29.74. However, if you sum those, you get 32.04, that's because the tax is there twice, once under Shipping, and then again under Total tax paid.

The expected behaviour (in my opinion) is to have shipping set to its base value, which in this case would be 10.

 

What am I missing?

 

PS: To clarify and avoid answers such as total means tax-inclusive in any system, {total_shipping} is just the placeholder's name. An end user/admin sees a simple Shipping label. If Products does not display the price with taxes, why would Shipping?

I have the same problem. I edited the template in International > Translations > Emails > order_conf and changed the {total_shipping} for {total_shipping_tax_excl}. And also, I updated the PaymentModule.php and I added these lines 

Can you help me? Where is the problem? Thank you so much! 

SOLVED; thank you!
