[FIXED] Tax still shown on cart page for tax exempt customers

ServWise.com · May 28, 2009

Tax is still shown on the cart page even if a customer is tax exempt.

ServWise.com · June 3, 2009

Also just seen that the tax is also still shown in the orders list in admin even if the user is tax exempt.

Open viewcart.tpl and add $loggedin to a couple of lines there

here is an example of what I did in mine on the web20cart template

{if $loggedin}
<tr class="carttablesummary">

<td align="right">{$LANG.ordersubtotal}: </td>

<td align="center">{$subtotal}</td>

</tr>

{/if}

{if $promotioncode}

<tr class="carttablepromotion">

<td align="right">{$promotiondescription}: </td>

<td align="center">{$discount}</td>

</tr>

{/if}

{if $taxrate && $loggedin}

<tr class="carttablesummary">

<td align="right">{$taxname} @ {$taxrate}%: </td>

<td align="center">{$taxtotal}</td>

</tr>

{/if}

{if $taxrate2 && $loggedin}

<tr class="carttablesummary">

<td align="right">{$taxname2} @ {$taxrate2}%: </td>

<td align="center">{$taxtotal2}</td>

</tr>

{/if}

<tr class="carttabledue">

<td align="right">{$LANG.ordertotalduetoday}: </td>

<td align="center">{$total}</td>

</tr>

Looking at that it does not do anything to improve the situaton, all it does is hide the tax lines if the user is not logged in, it still shows the tax inclusive total prices and still ignores the tax exempt setting.

If anything it makes it worse. Sorry nice try but not a solution i'm afraid.

It works for me because I include the tax in my prices. I just hide the sub-total and tax lines unless loggedin.

You could always hide the tax lines as above and on the total use

<tr class="carttabledue">
<td align="right">{$LANG.ordertotalduetoday}: </td>

<td align="center">{if $loggedin}{$total}{else}{$subtotal}{/if}</td>

</tr>

It does not matter if you include tax in your prices or not, this is about legality, if you are charging tax and selling to someone outside your tax zone (Someone tax exempt) then you MUST NOT charge Tax to that customer.

You are essentially running an illegal business if you are simply hiding the tax amount from tax exempt customers when you should actually be deducting it, plus I suspect that your invoices will be showing a different amount anyway as they will work properly i;d hope.

If anyone wants a proper solution to this issue I have bodged together a script than recalculates the cart values for tax exempt customers..

Replace the following in your viewcart.tpl

{if $taxrate}
     <tr class="carttablesummary">
       <td align="right">{$taxname} @ {$taxrate}%:  </td>
       <td align="center">{$taxtotal}</td>
     </tr>
     {/if}
     {if $taxrate2}
     <tr class="carttablesummary">
       <td align="right">{$taxname2} @ {$taxrate2}%:  </td>
       <td align="center">{$taxtotal2}</td>
     </tr>
     {/if}
     <tr class="carttabledue">
       <td align="right">{$LANG.ordertotalduetoday}:  </td>
       <td align="center">{$total}</td>
     </tr>
     {if $totalrecurringmonthly || $totalrecurringquarterly || $totalrecurringsemiannually || $totalrecurringannually || $totalrecurringbiennially}
     <tr class="carttablerecurring">
       <td align="right">{$LANG.ordertotalrecurring}:  </td>
       <td align="center">{if $totalrecurringmonthly}{$totalrecurringmonthly} {$LANG.orderpaymenttermmonthly}<br />
         {/if}
         {if $totalrecurringquarterly}{$totalrecurringquarterly} {$LANG.orderpaymenttermquarterly}<br />
         {/if}
         {if $totalrecurringsemiannually}{$totalrecurringsemiannually} {$LANG.orderpaymenttermsemiannually}<br />
         {/if}
         {if $totalrecurringannually}{$totalrecurringannually} {$LANG.orderpaymenttermannually}<br />
         {/if}
         {if $totalrecurringbiennially}{$totalrecurringbiennially} {$LANG.orderpaymenttermbiennially}<br />

As small update to include the second tax rate if any of you guys use it.

I'm not sure how compound taxation should be applied so I just added the rates and removed them from the inclusive price. Someone might want to test it fully although seems to work on my setup.
