SplitTaxLines mod support thread

[alanhigg]

I have the same problem & no it doesn't matter whether there is a discount or not:

Sub-Total: $359.98
Table Rate (15.00lbs) (Best Way): $25.00
5.0% GST#85990 7784 RT 0001: $7.50
8.0% PST (Ontario): $12.00
5.0% GST on shipping: $1.25
8.0% PST (shipping): $2.00
Grand Total $435.03

GRAND TOTAL IS LISTED AS $435.03 but adds up to $407.73....
GST should be $17.99 or $18.00
PST should be $28.79 or $28.80

GRAND TOTAL NUMBER IS CORRECT, BUT THE GST & PST NUMBERS SHOWN ARE INCORRECT. IT IS CALCULATING IT PROPERLY IT'S JUST NOT SHOWING IT PROPERLY.

SHIPPING GST & PST IS CALCULATED CORRECTLY!!

Hi nickita,
This is also curious, but I don't know if it is related to Jennie's issue. In your case, the grand total is still OK but hers is not.

Can you describe to me the order that gave these numbers? How many items, what were their values... were they priced by attribute... things like that. The more detail the better. Also, are you running any other mods? Does the tax total come out OK when you turn off the split tax lines mod?

One other question...

Why is my system charging PST for Shipping?
Shouldn't it only be GST on shipping?

That depends on how you have your tax rates set up, and doesn't have anything to do with this mod. I'm not a tax accountant but I'm under the impression that in Ontario you do have to charge PST on shipping. Here's a good thread (link) on setting up taxes for Canada. Maybe someone there will have a better answer for you...

The total was two items $149.99 FREE SHIPPING & $209.99.

No they weren't listed with attributes.

No other mods, except a template from Template Monster.

Yes I think if you remove the split taxes, it will show & calculate all correctly.

Hi Nickita,
This is a good start, thanks. Based on the numbers you gave, it seems that taxes are being calculated on all products and the total is correct, but for some reason the tax lines are only showing tax on the first product ($150*0.05 = 7.50 and $150*0.08 = 12.00)

I'll try to find some time to find the root cause of this issue but I'm a little swamped with other work at the moment.

Alan

ps. to Jennie - are you still having the problem you described earlier?

[nickita]

Good job!! I didn't even think of breaking them down like that to figure out where those numbers came from.

Let me know what you find out or if you'd like let me know what file to look into & I'll do some digging myself.

Nickita,
You mentioned that you are using a template from template monster. Can you check to see if there is any overlap between the SplitTaxLines files and the template files? Maybe there is something not quite right about the way that the two have been integrated.

To All:
Has anyone else experienced a similar thing, where the grand total is OK but the tax lines shown are incorrect?

Should I try turning off the template & seeing if that resolves the issue?

I think I've done this before & it doesn't, but I can try again.

Sure, that would be a good thing to try. Let us know what happens. I expect you'll also have to ensure that you have installed STL to the default template though, otherwise you won't be able to see the split tax lines.

Hi guys,

Someone supported me to update the CTE module with STL, which I have done without a problem.

But, I am having a problem with STL with the classic template and version 1.3.8a:

GST (5%) - for all goods in Canada
PST (7%) - for all goods in BC
GST (5%) - for all services in Canada

When I install STL it displays the tax for each product as Array% and the GST is only calculated on the second item plus shipping and the PST is calculated on only the second item.

Qty. Item Name Tax Total
1 x test prod 1 cat 2 Array% $55.00
2 xt est prod 1 Array% $20.00

Sub-Total: $75.00

Flat Rate (Best Way): $5.00

GST (5%): $1.25 (should be $4.00)

PST (7%): $1.40 (should be $5.25)

Total: $89.25 (total is correct)

Everything is 100% perfect when STL is set to false.

When I activate CTE with STL the totals are always correct. I have tested STL without CTE to get the above errors.

[numinix]

CTE with zen_get_multiple_tax_rates() support is completed and is ready to release. But it seems pointless to do so with the STL errors...

Ok, solved the array% problem which was due to missing some lines for merging on tpl_checkout_confirmation_default.php. I'm now using the file included with the package and receiving the incorrect amounts on each tax line. All the taxes skip the first item in their calculations and only display on the last item of each tax class.
