vat on invoice

hi,

I hope you can help. currently an invoice shows this:

price without VAT
subtotal
vat (on both item and shipping)
coupon
shipping (including VAT)
total


i need it to show this:
price without vat
subtotal
shipping (WITHOUT VAT)
vat (on both item and shipping)
coupon
total

any ideas?

Hi Tanya,

You can edit the invoices via the menu Display->Views. For the invoice on the backend, you can search for the file invoice of the view order and then edit its code to your needs.

thank you for your reply.

do you know the code for shipping without vat?

The shipping price without VAT is not stored in the order information. You only have the total with VAT, the shipping with VAT, the unit price without VAT and the VAT of each product.

hi,

ok. how do i show the full vat (on both shipping and product). currently it just shows vat seperately for the product.

You can show the full vat for products but the shipping VAT cannot be retrieved easily as the calculated information is not stored with the order. You would have to use the currency class functions to inject the order's information in the functions to get the un taxed vat price for shipping. Then you could sum it up with the products vat.

To show the full vat for products, you need to loop through the products and sum the vat...
$tax = 0;
foreach($this->order->products as $product){
$tax += $product->order_product_quantity*$product->order_product_tax;
}
echo $this->currencyHelper->format($tax,$this->order->order_currency_id);

How can exclude the phrase "VAT" since all the products in the store are with VAT.

You can change all the texts in HikaShop by overriding the translation file via the interface in the config under the tab languages.

Sorry i feel a bit bad :blush: What i have to change? :blush:

Well, you can search in the translation file for the text VAT (via the search of your browser) and copy these lines in the override textarea and change the text to what you need.

Hi Nicolas,

This is something that you should look at for a future version as the way companies want to deal with tax and shipping varies greatly, and it would be helpful to be able to amend it from the admin console. However, this is not currently possible so we will need to help Tanya with this. Which php file generates the invoice and which lines should be altered to give the required presentation?

If it is not possible to amend it the way Tanya described in her original post then it would be acceptable to have it thus:

Products (inc VAT)
Shipping (inc VAT)
==================
Total
(inc £x.xx VAT)

Many thanks, in advance

In the latest version of HikaShop that we released yesterday, we added the information of the VAT for shipping and coupon so that you can calculate the total tax by summing the tax of each product in the order and these two. You will have to edit the invoice file of the view checkout via the menu Display->Views in order to do that. The file is mainly composed of HTML so you should quickly find which lines display what.

I can't see the invoice file in the checkout view of the displays menu. There is one in the order view, but it seems largely php.

Yes, I mean order, not checkout.

Hi Nicolas,

Sorry to be a bit slow here.... Can you explain what exactly should be changed in the invoice file? I would like to have the VAT of the coupon included in the total VAT amount.

I'm on version 1.4.8.

Thanks in advance.

In the invoice file you will find that line:

echo $this->currencyHelper->format($this->order->order_subtotal-$this->order->order_subtotal_no_vat,$this->order->order_currency_id);

that you can change to:
echo $this->currencyHelper->format($this->order->order_subtotal+$this->order->order_discount_tax+$this->order->order_shipping_tax-$this->order->order_subtotal_no_vat,$this->order->order_currency_id);

I need help with taxes too, to configure it for Australia and it is causing all sorts of issues with paypal.
I need all prices to include GST (VAT) When a customer goes through the checkout it looks like this

PRODUCT PRICE $90(INC 10%TAX)
TOTAL $90(INC 10%TAX)
COUPON -$9 (INC 10%TAX)
SHIPPING $11 (INC 10% TAX)
TAXES $9.18 (TOTAL OF TAX ON SHIPPING AND ITEM, BUT NOT REDUCED BY DISCOUNT)
FINAL TOTAL $92.00 (INC 10% TAX)

A purchase of $92.00 would include 10% tax AND the actual tax should be $8.36 I tried twice, once with discount applied after taxes and discount applied before taxes and it still came up with the same incorrect tax amount.

Then when they are re-directed to paypal it looks like this:
UNIT PRICE $81.82(EXC TAX)
SHIPPING $11.00 (INC 10% TAX)
DISCOUNT -$9.00 (INC 10% TAX)
ITEM TOTAL $83.82 (A COMBINATION OF INCLUDE AND EXCLUDE 10% TAX)
SALES TAX $8.18
TOTAL $92.00 (CORRECT PRICE INC 10% TAX)

If a customer then clicks on the link in their email to look at their purchase it looks like this:
UNIT PRICE $81.82 (EXC 10% TAX)
TAX $8.18 (TAX ONLY ON ITEM - NOT ON SHIPPING OR COUPON)
COUPON -$9.00 (INC 10% TAX)
SHIPPING $11.00 (INC 10% TAX)
TOTAL $92.00 (INC 10% TAX)

I really need Paypal and the customer confirmation email link to look like the original checkout, with all prices including tax. But I need the tax amount to be correct too.

If you select, show prices with tax for the customer, then the paypal and the confirmation link should also show prices with tax too, I would have thought. I cannot find anyway of putting the tax code on the discounts either

I had this very same issue with Virtumart, and I was desperately hoping that your system would be able to cope with Australian GST rules.

Thanks,
Andrea

That's strange indeed.
We'll try to reproduce the problem on our end tomorrow and see if we have it and fix it.

Hi,

So first, here is the results for the first problem regarding the taxes calculated during the checkout:
The "discount applied before taxes" didn't had any effect in the calculations for coupons which is why you got $9.18 instead of $8,36. In order to fix that, you will have to change the line:
by:
in the function addCoupon of the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/currency.php
That modification will be included in next release of HikaShop.

We will look at the other problems tomorrow as we have a lot of support to handle at the moment and these tests and debug take a lot of time on our end.

I've got a couple of problems with my invoices - I've attached one to show you.

it shows the correct VAT figure (vat on both price and shipping), but the shipping figure is shown including VAT. shipping figure should be £0.83
how do I get it to show shipping without VAT?

also the invoice is missing some of the address details - its got the postcode but all the other info is missing - any ideas?
