Hi Ikoshkin,

I have not been able to check the implementation myself yet, but it looks like there is a serious tax issue / bug in the new cs-cart version. Please see:

Checkout tax calculation

I’m not sure if this is actually a bug, but I’ll give it a try here and your perspectives. I am currently using the latest MultiVendor version and plan to ship to different countries. It is so that the tax must be calculated according to the destination country. Especially for digital products. For example, if the customer is in Germany, I have to add 19% tax to the product, although as a merchant in Austria I would actually have to add 20%. If you store the price at CS-Cart as a price withou…

Can you help?

Thanks for reminding me. I meant to look into that topic, but got preoccupied with other tasks. I’m already on it, will reply there.

P.S. By the way, you could’ve just tagged me there. Can’t guarantee that I’ll always reply promptly, but I’ll definitely see it.

It seems that you are located within EU, I was wondering if you find it a problem with Accounting in CS-cart, that it doesn’t add up?

Please review my bug-report, see if you find the problem I have raised a similar problem for you an your marketplace!

I don’t run a marketplace and use alt-teams stripe add-on

You don’t run a marketplace?
Are you a developer?

Does the Alt-team Stripe addon solve the issue?

[flow]

I have a normal B2C online store, and use a 2nd store for B2B Sales, all in the same backend. I’m on a pretty old cs-cart version which doesn’t have Stripe yet, so am using alt-teams addon which works with this version

[rivernue]

So, in the old CS-cart version, the Stripe fee and marketplace fee shows up in Accounting?

As said: I don’t run a marketplace I only sell our own products, so I don’t have this accounting issue.

Hi Ivan,

We are now live with the latest version of cs-cart and the EU tax is working great with the setting prices incl tax.

Prices incl VAT now always show as nice numbers in every EU country and the cart correctly shows the incl. VAT for each country (for example, 19% for Germany, 21% for Spain, etc).

However, as far as I can tell there is still 1 issue, with countries / customers that are tax exempt. These should be charged 0% tax, like non-EU countries:

In this case, cs-cart charges the amount the product costs incl VAT… just without any included VAT - it should of course reduce the amount with the tax.

Example:

Product costs 100 euro incl 20% VAT.

Now a tax exempt customer buys it. He pays 100 euro ex vat, while he should pay only 83.33. Even when I check tax exempt in his account.

Since you wrote me once that this was working:
- Subtracting tax from a price that includes in when the customer is tax exempt.

I’m wondering if there is a way to make this work correctly?

A solution could be that when a rate are has 0% tax, then the amount incl tax is reduced by the tax of the default location (19% for Germany, etc).

Thanks,

Floris
