Tax inclusion to cart

[captaintonka]

Greetings Matt
I was hoping on adding a request to your list. How dificult would it be to add tax inclusions within the cart. As we operate in a country with 10% tax, we are forced to include the tax in the final price, however with orders coming from outside our residency country, we dont apply taxes.

[Matt]

It is a fairly difficult request. I will try and add support for it in an upcoming release.

Hi Matt,

I'm afraid I've just come up against this one too. And it's an absolute showstopper for me I'm afraid.

In the UK, where a business turns over > £57,000 a year, we have to add 17.5% tax (called VAT) and have to show a breakdown of the VAT element on our invoices together with our VAT registration number. VAT is pretty standard across Europe, but at differing % amounts.

The other thing is that we have to show the full name of the company being invoiced, and this is not a standard field in the system. Also, even though you can add it as a custom field, it does not show in the administrators "add client" form.

For reference there is a company that provides VAT functionality (http://www.amember.com/)... it's a general membership system rather than for hosting, but gives a good idea of functionality.

I know it's going to be hard for you to give an answer on this one, but are you likely to be able to provide this functionality in the not too distant future?

Phil.

Hi Phil,

Both tax/vat charges and the option to include a company name in addition to client name are being added for version 2.4 which will be released within the next 4-5 weeks.

Matt

Thanks very much Matt. That's excellent news...

It is going to take me longer than that to add all my customers to the system anyway! :-)

Cheers,
Phil.

Hello, I find the "company name" addition, but not "tax/vat" charges. Was it to difficult to include?

[Matt]

Hi,

Its wasn't too difficult, it just didn't make it into that release. Demand for tax support in WHMCS seems to be fairly low so for the moment it is not a major priority in the development.

Matt

[psfrog]

Ok, I understand. I will try to find some own way to do this for a receipt with "account-type, name, address, phone.number, company-name and amount plus calculated tax/vat amount of 25%".
If it was possible to add some small code that did a calculation of "[AmountDue]" and presented the result amount in for an example "InvoiceCreated" mail I would try that.

I'll keep on dreamin' ;-)

[Matt]

Ok, well for V2.6 I can look into it again. It's not problem implementing it onto invoices but it was subscription payments where I found there would be problems last time. As these don't get invoiced, there is no field for a tax amount and it makes things messy to have tax fields in with the account details so this was the stumbling area.

We are required to pay sales tax as well and really need this option.

[Xeonia]

Yes we also need this feature a LOT!

[jeroman]

Arghh...

First let me say that I think this product is awsome.
I was just ready to start moving clients over from whmautopilot to another villing script when I just bumped into
a link to your script and saw you have a import tool :-) and recurring products/domains - it's like the V3 of
autopilot I wanted and not the one they released now.

Anyway - no TAX !??

All European companies need to specify tax on invoices.
Maybe it could be managed by just adding a txt on invoice like "xx% VAT included" but Pro invoices
really should include all info about it, amount etc.

I read you should add it to 2.4 but there is no tax so I downloaded the 2.5 beta but theres is no tax either.
I understand you have other more requested functions to add but Please, please can you add tax/vat option as soon as possible ?
Then this will be the ultimate product on the market - fast to setup, easy to learn and all the functions needed !!

Suprised VAT/Tax is not more requested here.

Keep up the good work!

Regards Jerry

I would love to see this option in 2.6 (earlier if possible.)

Great Matt!
Nothing advanced is required from my part.
Just so % and the amount that is, is viewable on invoices.

What is the timeframe for 2.6, and do you still hope/plan to include tax support in it?

VAT (it also goes under names such as GST in Oceania, but it's the same) is a fact of life in down under, in the far east, and all over Europe (almost "the rest of the world" :D )

The fact you haven't heard many requests may be because you are limiting your penetration into these areas because of the lack of tax support. :shock:

Please be aware if you are working on it that it needs the flexibility to be used as either inclusive, or as an add-on amount.

In some tax jurisdictions it is common to quote/advertise a pre-tax price, then add the tax at the final point of sale (checkout in this case).

In others it is normal (even a legal requirement) to quote/advertise the all-inclusive price, and then just show the tax component separately on the final invoice.

Hi there,

in the Netherlands VAT is also obligatory. Beautifull product you have - but no use in Europe I'm afraid.

[NH-Andrew]

It is absolutely essential that this feature is implemented. Both inclusive and additional taxes should be incorporated. Each package/addon created should be able to specify what method of taxation should be used.

Please set this as high priority!! Has someone put in a bug request for this feature?

This is coming in a few weeks...in 2.6 I believe.
Then this software really rocks... 8)

I'm about to install the demo version now... only things preventing me from buying it now are PayPal Pro implimentation and Tax support... I think so far it does everything else I need.

I'm looking into a "real" merchant account to replace PP Pro, and if the next version supports tax, I'm SOLD! :)

What country do you operate out of? Maybe the community can give you some suggestions. I highly recommend Bluepay if your in the US. Im guess your not though if your worried about tax.

I am in the US, and I am required to charge sales tax to customers in the same state as I am... With already very low prices and the additional percentage taken out to process credit cards or PayPal, having any extra income to help with recovering the tax I have to pay the government on this income helps!


(I am required to pay tax based on my sales, whether I include tax on the bill to my customer is my choice - I still have to pay it come tax time)

I filled out my application for Bluepay last night and hope to hear back soon :)

I am based in France and as all the professionnals the VAT is required. It is very difficult to work without it because we have to redo all the bills for professionnals, and when you have several hundred of customers it is a lot of time lost every day.
For us the VAT is a basic needs for all the systems with payment.

Do you have an idea when this feature will be available?
We are waiting for it to use your marvellous system.
