taxable billing items

[RebelOne]

Hi all-

 

So I need to apply tax to only specific product types when I add them in a "billable item".

 

I've selected the "Tick this box to charge tax for this product" box on the product configuration page, but unless I also select the "apply tax to billable items" in the tax rules settings (in which case tax is applied to ALL billable items) tax is not applied.

 

If I select apply "tax to billable items" in the tax rules area, the tax is applied to ALL billable items even if "Tick this box to charge tax for this product" is NOT selected for a particular product type.

 

Is this just the way it works? Am I setting something up incorrectly?

 

Thanks for reading...

Hi,

The tax setting on products does not affect the tax on billable items.

 

There isn't currently an option to manually choose which billable items are taxed, at present either none are taxed or they're all taxed. However we welcome suggestions for new features at http://requests.whmcs.com

Thank you John, I'll put in a feature request. edit: it was there already, i voted fr it.

 

In the mean time, is there a hook point that would work well for me to modify the invoice just prior to generation? Or even after. I'm looking at the InvoiceCreationPreEmail and InvoiceCreation hooks for starters...

 

Thanks

Hi,

Sounds like InvoiceCreationPreEmail is your best bet.
