Magento - Tax Excluding Total and Including Total the same - magento

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 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 entering included prices

I have a problem with included tax prices. Example like this
I have a product included tax price $100
I want to enter this price from admin as $100.
But if shipping adress location is X country, it must be 5.26% tax.
If location is Y country, there is no tax.
I want to display price $100 for all of them in catalog pages.
But when user select X country then order, invoice and review must be displayed like this.
Subtotal $95
Tax $5
Grandtotal $100
When the second case i mean in Y country selected then
Subtotal $100
Grandtotal $100
If it's possible please help me. I burned out already.
I think the closest solution to your problem that magento can offer is
1. set price in admin including tax which means the price you enter while creating the product is price including tax. To do this Goto System->Configuration page. Click on the Tax section and under the "Calculation Settings" tab, set "catalog price " to "Including tax". Now price entered for the products are assumed to be including tax.
In the same tax setting page, set the "Display Product Prices In Catalog" as "Including tax".
Now set up tax rates and rules as your requirement in Sales->Tax -> Tax rules and Tax rates pages.
And there you have it.
Product prices in catalog listing will show product including tax, ie $100
And when you add product to cart. The cart will show
Subtotal = $100
Tax = $xx
Grand Total = $100
The easiest way to do this is to just set the price to 95 and setup tax rules using Magento's already built in tax rules. Login admin and go to Sales>Tax>Manage Tax Rules and Manage Tax Zones & Rates.
That will allow you to set tax for one country, and a different tax for another.
There is no pre-built way that I know of that allows you to have tax included in the price for some places and not others (if at all)
Maybe consider using the tax rules with Catalog Price Rules and do something similar.

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.

How do I configure magento to display prices including the TAX?

I'm struggling to configure my Magento store to do the following with TAX.
I want to give a product a price which includes the tax amount specified i.e 20% so when I add it to the cart the TAX and grand total are displayed correctly.
For example:
My product has a price of £20. 20% TAX of £3.33 is built into the price. When this product is added to the cart I'd like the cart to display the TAX amount of £3.33 and the grand total of £20.
Right now all I can get is the grand total to add the TAX on top totalling £23.33. Also the display price is £23.33 not £20.
I'd love some help!
Look under System/Configuration/Sales/Tax/Calculation
There are two important choices here
Catalog prices include tax
Shipping prices include tax
See magento prices inclusive of tax
Add this code in your phtml file where you getting the product price.
$_priceIncludingTax = Mage::helper('tax')->getPrice($_product, $_product->getFinalPrice());
If you want to display price on frontend with tax, go to:
System -> Configuration -> SALES -> Tax -> Price Display Settings -> Display Product Prices in Catalog
You have three options there. To show product price:
Excluding Tax
Including Tax
Including and Excluding Tax

Magento tax rates multiple countries

I whant to change our Magento CE 1.7 Shop to an multistore. So 2 countires an each has its own store but based on same products.
Now the 2nd country has different tax rates but the gross price should be same in both shops.
I have set the tax calucations based on the current county (set in system-config). So each Shop takes the corrent tax rates. And of course changed the tax reates for the 2nd country.
But now the gross prices in the shop are different. Even the product prices are set to be already including the tax rates. They get still recalculated.
e.g. county 1 has 19% tax and country 2 has 20%
Product 1 has a price of 70,90 in the backend and frontend. In country 2 its showing 71,50 in the frontend.
I dont want to set a new price for each product for the 2nd country. Isnt there a way to avoid the recalculation?
I think I found the solution.
I also have to set in system -> sales -> shipping settings -> origin country to the other country. Its not enought to change the Default Tax Destination Calculation Country and define the tax rules.
To hold a specific price by website/view you would normally do a catalog->item->price , select the website/store view from the drop down (top left), select price tab, unselect use default value and change the price to what ever you wanted displayed.
Changing the Shipping/Origin Address controls which tax rate is assumed when the catalog price = including tax.
Otherwise the system dynamically re-calculates the price including tax by figuring out the price excluding tax and then applying the new stores/customer's tax rate.
You should take a look at this, https://github.com/WMI/WMG_Tax , it recalculates the VAT properly.
