Is there a way to show the tax amount for a product. I want to show the tax amount on the product page.
For example:
The price is € 119 Euro and the the taxrate is 19%. Then a want to show the tax amount € 19 euro.
Hopefully someone can help me with this.
Gr,
Lex
yes it is possible but before you can do that you need to know the user shipping and billing data as tax calculations are based either on billing or shipping (country, region, zip) information and can be different for different locations

I have set up a shop using Prestashop. I created a tax rule for my products and entered the VAT rates of all EU countries we sell to. When a user orders a product the VAT amount is calculated according to the address/country he entered in the checkout process, this works fine.
Unfortunately the VAT rate when the user is not connected is wrong. It should be 19% and not 17%, thus the products in the shop show wrong prices, e.g. 59,97 € instead of 60 €.
I haven't found out how the Prestashop frontend determines the VAT rate to be used to calculate the product price. There is no default VAT rate setting and the first rate in the table (lowest ID) has a VAT rate of 19%.
Does anybody know how that works ?
Thank you very much.
You can set default tax rule for each product, when editing a product in back office.
You have the ability to decide if a visitor/guest customer group should see the prices with/without
taxes applied by using the setting in Shop Parameters > Customer Settings > Groups
(there's a "Price display method" selector there).
If you want your visitor's context country being set without having them to actually enter an address,
you should enable native Geolocation (International > Localization > Geolocation).
I found out how this works. Under International -> Localization you can set the store's default country. Set it to the country you like and the prices will be shown with the vat rate of that country if configured in the tax rules.
Could somebody helpme pelase?. I see that Magento in almost all my orders is calculating a tax named hidden_tax_amount . What does this value is related with?. And how can I disable it?.
Here you can see what I'm talking about.
[hidden_tax_amount] => 4.3000
[base_hidden_tax_amount] => 4.3000
[hidden_tax_invoiced] => 4.3000
[base_hidden_tax_invoiced] => 4.3000
Edit:
Ok, I've been digging in my code and fount that this field was introduced in 1.6.0.0 (Mage/Sales/sql/sales_setup/mysql4-upgrade-1.5.9.9-1.6.0.0.php:1616) and the value is get or set here
Mage/Tax/Model/Sales/Total/Quote/Tax.php:391: $address->setShippingHiddenTaxAmount(0);
Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Invoice/Total/Tax.php:85: $totalHiddenTax += $order->getShippingHiddenTaxAmount();
And in Mage/Tax/Helper/Data.php you can find in line 1114 to 1116 the following condition
if ($current->getShippingHiddenTaxAmount() > 0) {
$taxClassAmount[0]['hidden_tax_amount'] = $current- >getShippingHiddenTaxAmount();
}
Then researching more about the issue I found that:
"hidden_tax_amount" holds the substraction of the actual tax amount (on the current order) from the tax amount that should have been applied if there was no discount http://forum.azmagento.com/how-to/grand-total-calculation-v142--82183.html .
What leads me to the point that this is due a wrong tax configuration from my side rather than a bug and is related with a shipping tax. If so, could some body point me in the correct direction please?
Thankyou very much!
For anyone looking to understand the porpouse of hidden_tax_amount let me tell you that is not a bug or a missconfiguration, it's a feature:
it is used by Magento to calculate the amount of tax that is not originally calculated when a product that has a tax is under discount.
For example, you have:
a product named "Pencil" with price of $100.00 and a tax of 16% so the final price will be $116.
a coupon code with 10% off for all the Pencils
(This is important) your store is configured to calculate the discount after tax.
The user will see a final price including tax of 104.4 that is the result of 116 - 11.6. And that is correct.
But legally you can't discount any amount from tax because your base tax is still 100 and not 104.4.
Then Magento hiddes that quantity of money in hidden_tax_amount.
For accounting porpouses this process is correct. Then you can show that value as Tax.
Hope this helps someone else!
I had to give the Magento tax/discount issue some serious thought recently.
To set this problem up, assume there are four parties involved in a transaction, the wholesaler, the retailer, the consumer and the tax man. Assume the retailer is selling an item for £100 to the consumer (including tax), the tax rate is 20% and the wholesaler is providing a 10% discount on the item
The vital point here is that the 10% discount is offered by the wholesaler, not by the retailer. The retailer will get the full £100 for the item, with the consumer paying £90 and the wholesaler making up the remaining £10.
The retailer owes tax on the full amount paid. That is, at a tax rate of 20% £15 of the £90 paid for by the consumer is tax, and £1.67 of the £10 paid by the wholesaler is tax, giving a total tax bill of £16.67 or 20% of the net price (£83.33).
When the consumer receives their invoice, it makes sense to show them only the tax that they have paid, not the total tax paid on the item. However for the retailers accounting, they need to see all the tax that is due, that is the tax due on the portion paid by the consumer paid and the tax due on the portion paid by the wholesaler.
The hidden tax is still tax which has to be paid by the retailer, but it should be hidden from the consumer, because its nothing to do with their part of the transaction.
I am curently using Magento 1.9.1 and i want to set up a table rate for shipping.
In the shipping methods i can see only 3 conditions:
Weight vs. Destination
Price vs Destination
and # of Items vs. Destination
My questions is - How i make it count only the price. They are delivered all from england but there is only change of the shipping price on different purchase price.
For example, for purchases:
for store purchases for or less 25 pounds the Shipping fee is 3 pounds.
for store purchases for 50 pounds the Shipping fee is 5 pounds.
for store purchases for 75 pounds the Shipping fee is 7 pounds.
for store purchases for 100 pounds the Shipping fee is 9 pounds.
for store purchases for 150 pounds the Shipping fee is 12 pounds.
Thanks in advance!
Just do it Price vs Destination and only use table rates as you normally would. If necessary restrict countries that can be shipped to in your configuration.
Use Amasty Table Rate Shipping extension.
I cannot figure it out. How to apply discount to the basket amount before shipping. I see an option in Shopping Cart Price Rule "Apply to Shipping Amount" but what every amount or the way i enter it apply to the total amount not to the shipping amount.
The offer is for one product. Customer buy product A for 30 euro plus shipping but if the customer buy one more of product A he will get the second one for 20 euro + no shipping. i have solved the price but cant solve the shipping price issue.
This is actually the way it is suppose to work. I think the wording is confusing, it should be something like : "Apply Discount After Shipping Costs is added", or something like that.
Basically, setting Apply to Shipping amount to ON will make the discount work like this:
Total = (Subtotal + Shipping) - Discount Amount
While leaving the setting off will do this:
Total = (Subtotal - Discount Amount) + Shipping
In this case, if your Subtotal is lower than you discount, your Subtotal will be adjusted to 0 but the customer will still have to pay for shipping.
I have set up two tax rates based on uk + eu tax (including vat) and rest of the world tax rate (excluding vat).
All works fine and the correct tax rates show on the checkout and in the invoices but there is a problem: if you purchase something and you are from a non ey country then the frontend price reduces by 17.5% - the tax rate i have configured.
I would have thought that the prices shown on front end wouldnt change?
Any ideas?
That's a setting you can control in the admin. I believe it is called "catalog prices include tax" or something like that...
Silvo is right but I would say that this is exactly what you'd want to happen. If you are selling B2C in the UK (and many other EU countries) then you have to show the prices in the catalog inclusive of VAT. However, if your customer has registered and has a shipping address outwith the EU then you want them to be shown the price net of VAT because you shouldn't be charging them VAT.
