VAT-mod for European companies

[Remzi]

what is the 'tax office' input for? how does it affect the tax? how do you want the mod to calculate with those two inputs and then with countries and such.. you probably must tell us some more about how the turkish vat-system/laws works.. and further since i gather you are not a member of the EU-VAT laws..
but besides that i can say im not sure how much work we are able to put into such country-specific matters.. sorry.. but again please feel free to let us know how your vat-laws works and maybe it is not too much work to be done..
i also wonder how the number-check is thought to be done and what server should be used..
thanks for shown intrest and good luck.. let us know..

Thanks Vike,
Tax office is the name of the state-tax office, where the company is registered. For example my company has a tax office, which is GALATA (is a province in Istanbul) and the tax-number is 3445634900. Shortly: Tax office will be registered in the database with the tax-number for each customer. Both of them must be used together. The tax- office has NO effect to tax or to tax calcularion. Hope, ı could explain it. Thanks once more

Now, somebody PLEASE push me to the right direction.
All of the sudden I realized that (for example) a German tax number DE123456
and Country Italy or France let's you create the account
The MOD worked fine before...the only thing I changed was ....the server.

( I moved hosting provider)

Any thoughts how this can happen?

Does the mod check the VAT-number against the server? You can enable/disable it in the admin... If it's enabled and you still can create an account with a German VAT-number and country France or Italy, then we have a problem... Please get back to me.

Now I find that the same thing is happing to my.. I'm not sure if it worked before, but I we tested it good... Can someon verify if it did work before. That is, you shouldn't be abl eto enter a German VAT number and choose Country France.

Any way, We're working a fix for this and a general update to the new 1.3.5 version of Zen Cart as well as using more of the override system...

We'll be back soon! In the mean while, if you use this mod, watch out for the malfunction that pivey described...

I added a picture . The same problem occures also by changing the invoice adress !

Sorry for the delay!

If, you havn't fixed it... On line 44 it should read:

<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('tva_intracom', '', zen_set_field_length(TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK, 'entry_tva_intracom', '40') . ' id="tva_intracom"') . '&nbsp;' . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_TVA_INTRACOM_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_TVA_INTRACOM_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>

Hi Beez,

it worked before...it was not possible to create an account with different country the VAT number belongs to. An alert returned to the customer. Was OK then..
I realized that since my upgrade to 1.3.02
Don't know if it is related to the upgrade....

There is now a new version (1.2) for Zen Cart 1.3.5 out. I've uploaded it to the Downloads section, but in the meanwhile it can be downloaded from http://www.sweetfabrik.se/ZC/VAT-mod_135.zip

There were some major flaws in the previous version, making it possible to have a VAT number from Germany and country set to France. Please update to the new version as soon can. The new version should work on 1.3.0.2, but is not tested!

Most of the changes is in /includes/modules/pages/address_book_process/header_php.php, but be sure to do a full file comparison. We've also made a new function file, located in /includes/functions/extra_functions/functions_vatmod.php and /admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/functions_vatmod.php

We've also corrected a bug in the /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template/tpl_modules_address_book_details.php where the company name wouldn't show correctly.

Good luck! And please, report any bug in this thread...

Hello,

I've installed the brand new version (1.2).
However I've a problem with taxes and shipping cost, witch are not considered in the total.
The shop is in France, there is 2 tax rates : 19.6 and 5.5%


Configuration :
Country : France.
Basis of product tax : Shipping
Basis of Shipping tax : Shipping
Display price with tax : true



Modules > Shipping :
Flat rate :
Shipping cost : 5 €
Taxe : 19.6 %
Tax basis : Shipping.



Location / taxes :
Country : France
Zones : all french "states"
Zones definitions : EU => France / All Zones.
Tax classe : Taxe 19.6 %
Taxe 5.5%

Tax Rates : Taxe 19.6 %
Taxe 5.5 %



What's happening during the checkout :
individual consummer (not professionnal) with french shipping address.


Example 1 :

In the basket :
1 Product 40.09 TTC (tva 5.5 %) -> tva 5.5 % = 2.09 €
1 Product 2.99 TTC (tva 19.6%) -> tva 19.6 % = 0.49 €



Sous-Total: €43,08 (ok)
shipping : €5,98 (ok, price includes 19.6% tax)
Tva 5.5%: €2,09 (ok)
Tva 19.6%: €0,49 (False, shipping tax are missing : 0.98 €)
Total : €48,08 (False,shipping tax are missing : 0.98 €)


Exemple 2 :

In the basket :
1 Product 2.99 TTC (tva 19.6 %) -> tva 19.6 % = 0.49 €


Sous total : 2.99 € (ok)
shipping: 5.98 € (ok, price includes 19.6% tax)
Tva 19.6 % : 0.49 (False, shipping tax are missing : 0.98 €)
Total : 7.99 (False, shipping tax are missing : 0.98 €)


Conclusion :
shipping Taxes seems not to be added. Before the module installation, that part was working


Sorry for my english, ask for explainations if some part are not clear

Hi,

Is this module also for zencart 1.3.5 or only for previous versions?

Ronald.

I've installed the brand new version (1.2).

Have you done a fresh install of 1.2? The latest version of Zen Cart is 1.3.5...

As for the VAT-mod, we started development for 1.2.7, but as of now we're only distributing a version to 1.3.5. All version before the latest is to be considered BETA-releases, due to bugs that makes them not working as they should.

My Power tip of the day would be to make a (an other) fresh install of Zen Cart 1.3.5 :)
