Displaying TAXES on Product Page

[xelion]

Hello Everyone...

 

I spent hours looking for a way in which I could show product prices with or without taxes on the product page. As a customer I always hate the sneeky attempt of some suppliers which suddenly surprise with the added VAT just before checkout - which is just false advertising. So I tried to find a way to show all prices including VAT but just didnt happen - so I decided to write a couple of lines of code in products.tpl which I thought I'd share with anyone in the same position:

 

The currency id used is the one which appears in the URL get params so that I only target GBP as a currency, although one could simply alter this to match any EU local currencies.

 

 

{assign var="my_product_price" value=$product.pricing.minprice.price}

<span class="pricing">

{if $currency.id == 1}

£{math equation="( price * var )" price=$my_product_price|replace:'£':''|string_format:"%.2f" vat=1.2 format="%.2f"}

<br />

<span class="supersmallvat">inc. VAT@20%</span>

{else}

{$product.pricing.minprice.price}

{/if}

 

Although admitedly not as clean a solution as I would have liked - I didn't have the time to build a module for it - but thought it may be useful as a "quick-fix" for the average user!

 

Hope it helps!
