Magento tax issue, tax being applied twice - magento

We have a Magento Store, running 1.7.0.2 CE edition.
We are setting up tax for Australia (GST). The tax is 10%.
It seems that the orders are adding our tax component twice.
Important: Now the order has a 50% catalog price rule used also. And not applied to shipping.
Screen shot of order can be viewed here: http://www.jasonshico.com/screenshot.jpg (see screen1 heading)
As you can see, I believe the GST(10%) has been added again, even though you see the products above the products include tax.
Here are some of my magneto settings:
(see screen2 heading on above screenshot link)
(see screen3 heading on above screenshot link)
Any help would be very much appreciated :)

Try following changes to your Tax Settings:
1. Tax Calculation Method Based On: Total
2. Catalog and Shipping Prices: Excluding Tax
Don't ignore such warnings:
Warning tax discount configuration might result in different discounts than a customer might expect .
Follow this article:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/magento-ce-18-ee-113-tax-calc

Please use this settings : After Discount for Apply Customer Tax option in screen2.
Your issue causes by that option. Now you are using the 50% discount and applies the tax before discount, so the tax will be applied to the original total.
It is just issue.
So you must use After Discount option
System->Configuration->Sales->Tax->Calculation Settings->Apply Customer Tax : After Discount

Magento tax issue, tax is not counted

We have a strange issue in one of our shops. We have set all the tax settings, it are the same settings as by all of our shops and by this particular shop in the shopping cart and by orders tax is sometimes not counted. So by some orders we see tax and by others we do not.
So if we look at a product in de admin of the shop we see the tax so know that tax is counted,but when we put it in our cart he will not take tax.
It is also not a country issue, because we have just one country to choose from.
Has any one had the same problem or ideas what can be wrong?

Magento: show shipping price checkout including tax

We have a problem with the tax settings in Magento for the shipping method. If we are correct we have everything set up right. We want 21% of tax to the shipping methods and this is set up correct. In the image below you will see in the the totals a shipping amount of 3.95 euro and this is correct. In red you will only see that the shipping amount at the part of "verzendwijzen" shows 3.26, so without tax.
Does anyone know how to change this?
From the Admin panel, select System > Configuration.
In the Configuration panel on the left, under Sales, select Tax
Click to expand the calculation settings, and in the dropdown of shipping prices select Including Tax.
Also on the same page expand price display setting.
In display shipping Prices select including tax.
Hope these will do the thing if you haven't changed and core file of magento

Magento - Tax Excluding Total and Including Total the same

I have spent nearly 2 days now trying to get these damn tax rules to work in Magento.
I have a product. I have one Product Tax Class. I have one Customer Group. I have one Tax Zone (UK # 20%). I have one Tax Rule for this zone, Product Tax Class and Customer Group.
The tax settings are as follows:
When I add a product to my cart, the product price is £695. The Cart totals are as follows:
This is clearly wrong. If the product price is £695 and I've specified that this price is excluding tax, then 20% should be added to this cost. At the very least, the two Grand Total costs should be different!
The two very last things I've done were to delete the cache manually (via FTP) and to re-index all the indexes.
There are two settings to break this configuration into.
For Tax display.
For Tax calculation.
If you check your shopping cart display setting you will find you stated display price, display subtotal and display shipping to include taxes.
Play with those display settings and you will get result.

Magento Grand Total Calculates Total without adding shipping Tax

So I have this weird thing going on in a magento 1.7.0.2 site I'm working on.
I've set up the shipping table rate and I've checked and re-checked all the Tax setting but I'm still getting two different sets of results from the same order.
The PDF invoice and the backend view of an invoice displays the correct totals including all the shipping costs and the tax. See below.

However when viewing the products in the admin create order page the Shipping Tax is not included in the Grand Total. See image above.
Also the frontend of the site is not calculating the Tax on Shipping either. See below.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. This one has me confused.
Thanks in advance!
Maybe somebody changed the value in System -> Configuration -> Sales -> Tax -> Tax Classes in the Tax Class for Shipping drop down.
Take a look on this value and then go to Sales -> Tax -> Manage Tax Rules and filter by the correct Customer Tax Class and in Product Tax Class choose the value that you looked before.
Now go through the filtered Tax Rules and check out whether the applied Tax Rates are correct.

Magento applies tax on product prices that already including tax

I've added products prices with tax included (in the field Price [EUR] [ Including Tax])
Now when I put a product in the cart, Magento applies the tax to price that already including the tax!
Example: if the product has "Price [EUR] [ Including Tax]"=100€ in the cart I have:
Product price € 100
Sub total € 100
Taxes € 20
Totale €120 (but the correct price including taxes is 100€!)
instead I want this:
Product price € 100
Sub totale € 80
Taxes € 20
Total €100
I'v tried all the settings and I'm going mad! is there a solution?
I will repost idophir's comment, that fixed my issue that led me to this question. I wasted hours looking at tax settings and tax rules, to finally find my culprit in shipping origin settings:
Check out the link below. It says that the shipping origin country
(System > Configuration > Sales > Shipping Settings > Origin) affects
the the way the price is displayed in the cart. Strange.. http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/78069/
Make sure that the Origin Country is correctly specified under Configuration > Sales > Shipping Settings.
Go to System->Configuration->Sales->Taxes->Calculation
and search for Catalog Prices. Set the switch to "yes", then Magento assumes, that the tax is included in the catalog price.
Also check these setting in your store configuration scope, not only in default config.
I had the same issue and i was checking for soutions and came through this topic. Right now i got solution to my problem so telling you here.
In my case i previously selected 'Default Country' as United Kingdom in Default Tax Destination window, and i was signed in from an account with address other than United Kingdom. So all was fine, i tried every option and the tax was not updating on products and shopping cart page. When i logged out and found that it is working ;) Then i relized the issue. So if you have default country for tax calculation, check out the taxes with or without that. Hope it work for you.
And sorry i am late :)
when you go to TAX calculation section (Thats System->Configuration->Sales->Taxes->Calculation) you will find "catalog prices" you can customize whether you want to include price with TAX or not.
