Hi all.
I just have a question about calculating tax
if i have a product costing 500,- inc tax
then a customer that lives outside my country shopps he is automatic TAX free
is it 500-25% or will correct calculation be 500/1,25
500-25%= 375,- ?
500/1,25= 400,- ? I say this is correct

Yeah this one is correct, assuming your tax rate is 25%.

So then CS-Cart calculate wrong then.
CS-Cart calculate with this 500-25%= 375,-
And ohh my i have to pay to get it fixed
I would asume this should be defalt behavior in CS-Cart despite country.
Posted a support question to CS-Cart and got this

Ohh my.
They think it`s not a problem because noone else ever have reported it
I am afraid, we cannot agree with you that adding/subtracting should not be used in calculating taxes. We have never had any complaints about this and suppose that taxes estimation is correct in CS-Cart.
Sorry for possible inconvenience.
We do not have to deal with VAT but I think all those who do should really press CS-Cart on this issue as it is demonstrably wrong. If their calculation that the price without VAT is 375, then adding a 25% tax to 375 should result in a price of 500 (not 468.75). The developers are clearly wrong on this issue and this has me questioning the accuracy of other percentage-based calculations in the cart (e.g., discounts).
