-- HikaShop version -- : HikaShop Business: 4.0.1

In the UK the VAT on shipping is at the highest rate of the items on the order. I.e. if there is 2 items both at 0%, shipping is 0%, however if there is one at 0% and 1 at 20% the VAT on the shipping is 20%. How do I achieve that in Hikashop?

Hello,

HikaShop 4 has an "automatic tax" system for the shipping.
But that system won't take the highest tax, it will process the tax depending the pro-rata of the (shippable) items in the cart

Then Hikasop is not ready for some European countries like UK and Malta if it is not VAT compliant. How can you explain that ?
We cannot have wrong VAT invoices, you know that.
We spent days preparing Hikashop Business and Hikamarket and when we get to the final VAT on delivery, you answer that we cannot use Hikashop in our company’s country. So, what is your solution ?

Hi,

We actually didn't know about that so that's why it's not possible.
However, it will be easy to add on our end as it's only a small change in the calculation of the shipping taxes and the modification of the "automatic taxes" setting. I've added it to the todo list for the next version of HikaShop.
