2nd level tax rule, for specific products

[nikos]

Hello,

how can we set a 2nd level tax to be applied only in specific products?

Thanks in advance for any help!

There's no such thing in WHMCS. You can't conditionally apply Level 2 tax based on Product/Service but it's possible with custom scripts. You'll need to use action hooks, some API commands and probably also custom queries (I can't remember at the moment). It seems frustrating... it is 😔

p.s. There's a feature request (6 years old) for what you're looking for.

125 votes is reasonably high for a feature request... thought that's no guarantee of anything being done about it.

Sorry for late, but interested on this.

Could you please you experienced guys share what should be the approach for doing this?

Not really much experience with php and WHMCS, but tried to figured out based on official documentation.

Should I let WHMCS first apply their rules, then calculate tax conditionally on a hook and and execute an API to modify the tax value? Don't get clear how would be showed on writed on DB.

Will really appreciate if someone can give me some lights on this.

Thanks!
