Hi!
I have a problem with how the eStore tax-system works.
All prices the customer sees are net-prices without taxes. In europe this is not allowed everywhere. The customer always has to see the full price he will have to pay in the end.
It also is mandatory for shop-owners to show the included taxes in the bill.
This is what is shown now:
Product1 : 10$
Tax 10%: 1$
Total: 11$
I need it to show:
Product 1: 10$
included Tax: 1$
Total: 10$
The net-price should only be visible on the final bill. Everywhere else on the page the customer needs to see the grossprice with all taxes included.
How can I do this with eStore? I think everything needed is already integrated, the calculation, the taxes are shown in the bill.. but in the wrong way. What will I have to do to comply with german laws?
Hope you can help me!
Cheers,
Charles
Hi Charles, will this only need to be displayed in the shopping cart or also on all the fancy display options?
The best way to do this would be to write a function that take the product price without the tax and returns the product price including the tax. You then just call that function where ever it displays the normal price. You still need to keep the normal price so you can submit it to paypal separately (PayPal will not understand the amount including tax)
The customer need to see the gross-price everywhere on the site. The net-price is only necessary in the shopping-cart-page.
As this is mandatory in Germany and many other countries in the European Union I think it would be a great addition for many users if you could implement such a function to the next version of estore.
