Taxes apply

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.0

Hi

I want to create a tax category (22%) for :
1. EU individuals
2. Italian Companies
And no tax to:
1. Except EU individuals
2. Except Italian Companies

I can do the restrictions but I can not do all restrictions together. Any suggestion how to do it?

Thank you

Hello,
Note that you can restrict your taxes regarding your customer Billing address and user group.
So you'll just have to create a tax that will apply to :
- EU and Italian addresses
- Individuals and Companies user groups.

I want to pay VAT only:
1. EU individuals
2. Italian Companies

So I restrict:
Zone: Europe
Customer type: "Individual" and "Companies with VAT"

but how to include ONLY Italians "Companies with VAT"?
The above configuration includes and other EU countries companies.

Thank you.

Yes I can do that but all products must have the same Tax rule.
So in one tax rule I must have all restrictions.
Or how else can apply 2 rules in products?

I asked an accountant and told me that this is the standard way of selling goods in EU, so I suppose that this will be a guide for others with the same problem.

Thank you.
It was so simple and I lost there in taxes!
The key was , THE SAME tax category!

To make it simpler for other users I made as you said:

1. One default tax Category with Italian VAT rate.
2. Two tax rules with the same above tax category and the restrictions:
a. Zone: Europe, Customer Type: Individual
b. Zone: Italy, Customer Type: Company with VAT Number

So only EU individuals and Italian companies will pay VAT
As far as it concerns the Hikashop, I have test it a lot in U.S. e-shops and I am convinced that it is by far the best Joomla cart component.

Hi, I am struggling to make this work correctly for European VAT registered businesses. I have tried various options bases on the previous thread without success.

The end goal is;
All UK pays 20% VAT
EU individuals & businesses pay 20% VAT
EU VAT registered businesses with a valid VAT number pay 0% VAT

I have followed the previous thread but exchanged Italy for UK but cannot get Hikashop to add or remove the VAT as required for the Europe? is there another setting I am missing somewhere?

thanks

Hi Nicolas,
Yes that is one of the ways I have tried to get this to work as I would have expected this to be the preferred method. The problem appears to be that 'individuals' in the Europe zone allow purchases to be tax free which is incorrect, the only way I can get the cart to charge VAT for individuals in Europe is to select 'all customer types'

Hi Nicolas, 100% correct as usual ;o)

I now have a little problem as the 'default address type' has vanish from my config menu after making the change?

Hi Nicholas, I have the same problem.
My configuration:
Address used for taxes: Billing Address
2 Taxes: Same Category, Same Tax rate, 2 diferent zones:

1. Europe no Spain: Individuals, Companies without VAT number
2. Spain: All customer types

But when I use a French or Italian billing address at checkout, VAT don't apply.



Where can I look my "default customer type" configuration? because I can't find it at Hikashop Configuration

Thanks in advice

I have done my "Europe_no_Spain" zone by copying your "Europe" Tax zone and removing Spain from subzones list.

Even, I created a new Spain Tax zone by copying Spain country zone to apply only to spanish customers, but VAT still doesn't apply to customers of rest of Europe

Hi Nicholas, I think I found the problem. If I introduce a valid document number in address_vat field in my address form, hikashop considers my customer like company with VAT number, because if I leave this field blank then hikashop applies VAT correctly.

Is this the correct behaviour?
Thanks

Hi,

Yes it indeed the correct behaviour.

Thanks, Nicholas and Xavier, but , Xavier, our financial department tells us that if the customer is in the European Union, they need a valid document from customer to make an invoice, even if the customer is an individual, but if customer fill in "address_vat" field then is condsidered like a company and then VAT doesn't apply and, for us, this is not correct.

Where can I change the implementation of this behaviour in our proper manner?

Regards
