VAT displays as 17.500000000000000%

Hi,

My invoices are showing vat with extra zeros at the end:
17.500000000000000%

When I go into Locations / Taxes >Tax Rates it displays with extra zeros too! But if I edit it shows as 17.5000 even if I change it to 17.5

How do I fix this?

Thanks
Marky

Running version:
Zen Cart v1.3.8a/v1.3.8

Thats a really interesting error. If you were on excel I'd say to go to format > cells > numbers and then choose one decimal place.

But you're not, so I can't.

I'm interested to find out how to fix this one though!:dontgetit

Hi

Check what you have in Configuration - My Store - Tax Decimal Places.

Hope this helps

Hi,

All fixed now! I was adding too many numbers... should of read this:

Tax Decimal Places
(Admin - Catalog)
Pad the tax amount this amount of decimal places. For example, if the amount of tax was $3 and tax decimal places was set to 2, it would display as $3.00.
Default: 0

Thanks
