    red flag UK VAT change (URGENT PLEASE)

    Hi,
    I have an issue with VAT in the UK.
    I went into Admin (localations / taxes - tax rates) and changed the VAT from 17.5% to the new rate of 15%
    I assumed this would alter all the pricing on the site but it has not.
    So I started editing the products individually, entering the new total price (inc VAT) in the ADMIN tool this listed the correct ex VAT price, excellent.
    However, when viewing the altered products on the site proper it lists the new ex VAT correctly but it is still then adding 17.5% instead of 15% for the total.
    i.e the total price on the site is not the same as the total price as listed in Admin.

    An example.
    I have a tool chest listed in admin at:
    £391.3043 ex VAT, £450 inc VAT, perfect.

    But when view on the site I see:
    £391.30 ex VAT
    £459.78 inc VAT

    Anyone have any ideas on this?

    I had a similar problem but when I looked at it, what I needed to change was the title. It started working out the change at 15% but the comment next to it stated 17.5%
    I hope this has helped.

    What is the TAX CLASS applied to each product? Call up a product edit screen and see what CLASS is being applied.

    I only have 1 tax class (taxable goods)
    I only have one Zone (EEC VAT Zone) this is set to 15%
    We do not sell any goods which are exempt from tax.

    We can't really get our site running again until this is sorted.

    Do you have an additional 3rd party mod installed that displays both Ex-Vat and Inc-Vat prices?

    As I can't see the site, it's difficult to offer assistance.

    I also have a site that is doing something similar.

    I've changed the VAT rate to 15%, and this all works out fine at the Checkout.

    However when you go to the individual products display page the price inc vat in brackets under the ex vat price is still displaying at 17.5%.

    Does anyone know where I change this calculation please.

    site in question is www.easitec.co.uk

    Many thanks

    ... again, you must have either:-

    1. a separate module installed that is providing the incl vat figure
    2. have modified one of the core files to make that calculation and insert the result.

    A default install of ZC does not display BOTH excl and incl prices - so something must have been modified on your code, or a module installed to handle this feature.

    Thanks Schoolboy - the site was designed by a friend who seems to have dropped off the planet!

    Guess I will have to trawl through the code and see what I can find.

    Thanks again for your reply.
