I currently have my store set up so that tax/vat is calculated on the order total less any discount amount but BEFORE shipping is added e.g.
Products £10
Less Discount 10% = £9.00
Tax @ 15% = £1.35 (£9.00 x 15%)
Sub Total £10.35
Shipping £1.00
TOTAL £11.35
I have now discovered that I should be charging vat on shipping also so need the tax to show as being charged on shipping amount too (I realise I will need to show postage rate as pre-vat amounts so the total still works outs the same e.g. shipping at checkout would show as 87p so that total including vat works out at £1.00) e.g.
Products £10
Less Discount 10% = £9.00
Shipping £0.87
Sub Total £9.87
Tax @ 15% = £1.48
TOTAL £11.35
We have many different postage methods and rates plus different charges for europe and worldwide as well as various local postage options and will show all postage amounts with and without vat/tax on our delivery prices page so customers know they are not being charged any extra. Leaving zencart as it is and manually adjusting each invoice so we allow for tax on each delivery is not practical due to the amount of different postage options and orders.
Any help appreciated.
ADDED - I saw an option a while ago on zencart which allowed you to set whether vat/tax was calculated on the product price, the discount price or the total price etc and thats how I got it to calculate on the price less the discount, but I cant find that thread on here or the option in admin - also had a look though my zen manual but cant see it there either.
