vidmarc Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Is there a way to select whereby VAT is applicable to products and shipping. Example. 1. Books = no VAT on book or shipping 2. DVD = VAT on product and shipping 3. Book and DVD = no VAT on book but VAT on DVD and partial VAT on shipping This is as per UK customs and excise, and I can find no way of setting this up properly. http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageLibrary_ShowContent&id=HMCE_CL_000114&propertyType=document#P37_2677 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 That will be complicated. One can set upi shipping by category, and in that shipping category, I believe one can state this is an Exempt tax class. An admin can create as many tax classes as needed, but having an equation to calculate what part of a product bundle is taxed and what is not -- wow. Or do you mean that the shopping basket has a book product and also a video product? Then I think shipping by category would work. Each product, on its Pricing tab, can have a selected tax class.

vidmarc Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 All our shipping is done by weight, so I'm not sure the "Per Category" option will work? Or do we tie it in with the "By Weight" option somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsmither Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I have not yet found a way to setup a "Shipping Tax by Product Category". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidmarc Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 It's quite strange that a UK developed shopping cart doesn't comply with UK tax laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
