    Default Re: Currency Rounding Issues with quantity discounts

    Just another point,

    You used 1.14999998 as the rate value. Strictly speaking as the current VAT rate is 15%, that should be 1.15,

    Not much difference, but important.

    I don't want to harp on about VAT (as this is really a subject for an accountant) , as opposed to the bug itself, but do you realise that if you do become VAT registered, and therefore liable to pay the VAT on your ouptuts you will in fact be making less profit per item. ?

    I know, I can't remember where I invented 1.14999998 from

    Not so! Well, marginally, but obviously I paid VAT on the goods purchased which I would be able to offset if I was registered and charging VAT, so yes, there would be a small deduction in profit directly but ultimately I would only be interested in the net price of goods I bought rather than the gross value.

    Just another question.

    What is the original value of the product, and what settings do you have for the quantity discount for that product.

    Original value is 2.60 and I have qty discount set for actual price of 2.17 for min qty of 4. The admin interface also shows calculated price of £2.50 = 4x £9.98

    Did you manage to figure out what was going on here Wilt? I have had a good play but am truly stumped.
