tax on attributes HELP

need some help here, im sure its just something i need to turn on but cant fint the right section.

ive entered all the prices to add to my products in the attribute controler without tax. in the dispay once attribute is added to product in the attribute controller show the price with tax (how i want it) but on the store its self the attribute is showing without tax and when checking out vat not being added.

this is a big problem as i need to sell everything with tax for the tax man.

how do i turn this on??

here is the admin screen

here is the product screen

Please help

I'm not sure this will help, but try editing that attribute and set "attribute is free" to NO and "include in base price when priced by attributes" to YES. See if that helps.

nope, there is a way to make zen use the 205.57 price, i have it like this on my other store but can for the life of me remember what i clicked to make it do this

Exactly the same problem here. Price shows correctly with VAT in shopping basket but when I go to protx the price carries through without VAT. Items not priced by attributes show correctly with VAT shown separately. Also, the shipping cost shows in protx as inclusive of VAT and nothing in the tax column.

mines not showing on product details screen correctly.

Just to let you know - I have been in touch with Conor (the developer) and he has now updated the module to address the problem of tax not appearing on the protx page on products priced by attributes. So it now works perfectly and separates out the shipping tax which was also not displaying. All is perfect now and he will be updating the version on his website shortly.

Sorry kitcorsa - misunderstood - when you set up the products are they set to Taxable? I'm not sure but I think once you have set up the Tax rates etc the tax displays in the attribute controller regardless of whether the item is set to taxable or not...

Yep. set as taxable goods, tax is worked out on the product its self, just the attribute is not adding tax.

works fine on my bathroom site but not on fires site.

Odd - because mine's working perfectly now. I have the store set to show inclusive prices and when the main price is set to zero and priced by attributes it all works fine. Have you got the zones set correctly? Include in base price ticked on the attribute?

does anyone have any idea???

this is a real problem and i might have to close my site if i cant get it to work correctly.

fixed the problem. i just ran an update alll attributes thing from admin and sorted it!

god knows what was going on.

Glad you got it sorted!

just incrase anyone else is having this problem ill tell you what i found out.
my site was 100% configured correctly so the error was a Random problem. to solve this i pritty much ried everythin from turning the tax on and off and still couldn't figger out the problem.
i fixed the problem by using the tools in the admin section and on the atribute option (next to the product) to update all attribute sort orders etc. i also then ran a database cleanup. this solved this issue.
i dont know exactally what was causing the error but this solved the issue.
i did pleanty of back ups before runing these updates just incase.

hhmm .. I'm also suffering from VAT on attributes and your tips didn't clear the problem.

So ... the Zen cart team produce this excellent piece of software which is so stupidly easy to use it's almost criminal.
I get my grubby hands on it and start to confuse the hell out of the community.

To NOT show VAT on attributes?
Configuration > My store > Display Prices with Tax = False

:shocking:

VAT is still added/ displayed on checkout.

At least this works for me!
