Display Zero VAT

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3
-- PHP version -- : 5.328
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : FF 32.0.1

I have a shop up and running which was originally for UK only. However the client is now intending to supply the Chanell Islands & Eire. They do not pay VAT and this has been set up as 0%.

The issue I need to overcome is that with 0% the VAT/TAX line disappears from the cart. On the first attachement it shows a price with VAT the second has no VAT and I would like to show it as VAT: 0.00. Currently that line is missing if zero rate VAT is applied

Hi,

You have to edit the view "checkout / cart" and add:

else{
?>
				<tr>
					<?php echo $td; ?>
					<td id="hikashop_checkout_cart_tax_title" class="hikashop_cart_tax_title hikashop_cart_title">
						<?php echo JText::_('TAXES'); ?>
					</td>
					<td class="hikashop_cart_tax_value">
						<span class="hikashop_checkout_cart_taxes">
						<?php
							echo $this->currencyHelper->format(0,$this->full_total->prices[0]->price_currency_id);
						?>
						</span>
					</td>
				</tr>
<?php
}

			} else {
?>
				<tr>
					<?php echo $td; ?>
					<td id="hikashop_checkout_cart_tax_title" class="hikashop_cart_tax_title hikashop_cart_title">
						<?php echo JText::_('TAXES'); ?>
					</td>
					<td class="hikashop_cart_tax_value">
						<span class="hikashop_checkout_cart_taxes">
						<?php
							echo $this->currencyHelper->format($taxes,$this->full_total->prices[0]->price_currency_id);
						?>
						</span>
					</td>
				</tr>
<?php
			}
		}

thanks for the code and apologies for the late reply

Dave

Sorry I cannot seem to get this to work. I add the code as suggested but nothing changes or I get a white checkout page with just the billing info on!

Hi,

Thanks to set the error reporting level to "maximum" in the Joomla settings.
You potentially have a PHP error in the added code.

I have tried this an no error report is displayed. This is the altered code below

<?php
				}
			} else {
?>
				<tr>
					<?php echo $td; ?>
					<td id="hikashop_checkout_cart_tax_title" class="hikashop_cart_tax_title hikashop_cart_title">
						<?php echo JText::_('TAXES'); ?>
					</td>
					<td class="hikashop_cart_tax_value">
						<span class="hikashop_checkout_cart_taxes">
						<?php
							echo $this->currencyHelper->format($taxes,$this->full_total->prices[0]->price_currency_id);
						?>
						</span>
					</td>
				</tr>
<?php
			}
		}
      else{
				<tr>
					<?php echo $td; ?>
					<td id="hikashop_checkout_cart_tax_title" class="hikashop_cart_tax_title hikashop_cart_title">
						<?php echo JText::_('TAXES'); ?>
					</td>
					<td class="hikashop_cart_tax_value">
						<span class="hikashop_checkout_cart_taxes">
						<?php
							echo $this->currencyHelper->format(0,$this->full_total->prices[0]->price_currency_id);
						?>
						</span>
					</td>
				</tr>
  } 

		 if(!empty($this->payment) && $this->payment->payment_price != 0) {
?>

I have the following

Hi

the following erros are thrown up

Hi,

Thanks to enable the "test_hikashop" account on your website in order to allow us to see what's happening directly.

There is nothing related on the error in the log file. We think that you just have wrongly past the given code.
You potentially forgot a php tag or something like that. Thanks to try to remove the code and add it again.

Hi Xavier

I have tried more than once to enter the code supplied and get the same result.

I have activated the test account. I have also changed the address to Ireland as this is one of the countries where the 0% VAT rate applies.

You will need to login first to see the products. Add something from clothing and then view cart, these are subject to VAT in the UK, but not in Ireland or the Channel Islands

Dave

Hi,

So no more blank page ?
Your issue seems to be just a wrong configuration of your taxes.

Thanks to check this part again. The given code only allow to display a VAT = 0 if no VAT are applied, but if there is VAT so the restrictions are not correct.

Hi

The problem is still there. I had to remove the code as it affects what is a live site. I am quite happy to set the test account with admin access.

I have attached a couple of screenshots. One is for Tax rates and the other for Tax Rules. I am pretty sure these have been set up correctly!

The Channel Islands and Eire do not pay VAT on goods brought from the UK so the rate has been set as 0% as you will see from the attachments. As per my original post the Tax/VAT line is not shown on the cart/checkout page. I would like it to show as per the attachment tax display 2

Thanks

Dave

Hi,

I just made the changes as explained, there was just two missing php tags in the given code.
So it seems to be working as expected.

ps: I edited the previously given code with the correct php tags.

Xavier

thanks very much for your help, greatly appreciated.

Dave

Hi

I have just realised that the carriage is not being calculated to add vat when it is a UK based business. The VAT is only being added to the product.

I have attached the customised file, would grealty appreciate it if you could take a look please and adjust the code if that is possible

Dave

Hi,

The code should be working for everybody, it just display "0" if there is no vat already displayed.
Are you sure that your tax rules are correct ?

Hi

the Channel Islands and Eire are set up to work with the UK product tax category. This is how Im understand it to work. I have attached 2 screenshots. More than happy to activate admin access so that you can conifirm these have been set up correctly?

Thanks

Dave

Hi,

This seems to be set up correctly.
As the tax rate is 0% so we go in the else condition I gave you earlier and the 0 VAT should be displayed, I tried on my end and it seems to be working fine.

You can set our test account as administrator, if I have some time on monday I will try to look at that.
