SplitTaxLines mod support thread

[imak]

imak,

I haven't tested this mod with 1.3.7 but I would expect it to work as I don't think that any of the differences between 1.3.7 and 1.3.7.1 will affect it.

Just be certain that you are using the right version of split tax lines. Version 1.1 is for the 1.3.8 series of zen-cart. For zen-cart 1.3.7 the one that you need is STL v1.01

Let us know if you have success with it!

alan,

It's working perfectly with ZC 1.3.7

Thanks !

I'm using STL 1.01.

In the "Your Total" box (Step 2 of 3) it is possible to add line between PST and Total lines to show the shipping costs (with taxes includes) ? :

ex:

Sub-Total: $XX.XX
GST : $X.XX
PST: $XX.XX
Shipping (taxes includes if apply) : $XX.XX
Total: $XX.XX

Is the version 1.01 of SLT working fine with the module SuperOrder ?

Hi imak,
I'm not sure I fully understand what you're asking, but I'm sure there's a way to make it happen. Whether or not it's quick and easy is the question :-)

It sounds like you want to have only the subtotal taxes displayed (and split), and the shipping taxes you want to have added into the shipping cost and displayed on one line. If that's what you want, here's an approach that might do the trick (I haven't tried it myself):
- Modify the ot_shipping.php file in includes->modules->order_total. First, force it to *not* split shipping taxes by forcing) the conditional expression that checks DISPLAY_SPLIT_TAX_LINES (line 67 for stl1.01 and line 52 for stl1.1). Something like this should do the trick:

//Begin SplitTaxLines modification
//--------------------------------
if ('true')
{

Then, in function process() (line 134 for stl1.01 line 131 for stl1.1) you will see:

 'value' => $order->info['shipping_cost']);

Add in the calculated taxes like this (I repeat, I haven't tried this myself)

 'value' => $order->info['shipping_cost'] + $order->info['tax_groups']["$shipping_tax_description"]);

- Change the priorities of the shipping and taxes items in the order_total module (in the admin area, modules->order_total) so that taxes are higher than shipping.

In my head, that should all work. Again, I haven't tried it so please be careful and don't wreck a live cart. Please do respond and let us all know how it worked out though, ok?

I have never tried SuperOrder so I can't say if it works. If you end up trying it, can you post back with your experiences? Thanks.

Hi vhjdb,
I'm assuming that you want to know the grand totals for collected GST and PST for a time period (tax time, anyone?). I'm not planning for that since SplitTaxLines is a cosmetic mod only, it splits the display of taxes.
As long as you don't delete your orders after you've fulfilled them, you still have the required info in the database and can run a quick query to sum it all up. You can join the zen_orders and zen_orders_total tables on the orders_id field and then sum up all fields with the appropriate tax description that fall in your desired date range. Since zencart uses the tax description as the database key, you'll have to make sure that you didn't change your tax description partway through the year because that will screw up your totals and the tax man will not be happy.

Hmm.. as I write it looks like this really wouldn't be too hard to accomplish. I'll see if I can find some time to look at this a little closer...

Just an update that I still haven't had a chance to update CTE to use the multiple tax function. Not sure when I'll have time. If someone else wants to do it please do. Just refer to how I disabled the tax on the function above it in functions_taxes.php

Hi guys! This mod rocks - I just can't get my taxes to add up right. Help?

This is what it's currently calculating:

Sub-Total: $160.00
Discount Coupon: partyof8 : -$10.00
FedEx Ground (FedEx Ground® Service ): $14.34
5% GST: $6.33
8% PST: $10.13
5.0% GST on Shipping: $0.68
Total: $184.72 (adding above numbers should total $181.54)

It should be to the way I've understood taxes (and the way it added prior to the mod installation):

Subtotal: $160.00
disc coupon: -$10.00
fedex: $14.34
5% gst: $7.50
8%pst: $12.00
5%gst on shipping: $0.72
Total: $$184.56

Please advise as the client has to manually adjust all orders right now with this.

Hi Jennie,
I'm curious to know what's going on here as well, because those numbers are not good. At first glance, I can't see where the problem might lie. So, a few troubleshooting questions

1. Do you have any other mods installed? Which ones?

2. If you switch off the splittaxlines mod and then duplicate this order, do the right numbers show up?

3. Do the taxes calculate properly for orders that don't have discounts?

Let's try to get to the bottom of this....

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!!

[nickita]

One other question...

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