Displaying products with Zero Vat Rate

[Lumoco]

I have 3 VAT Rates on my site, 21%, 13.5% and 0% for my products. All my prices shown on my site are ex VAT (as they must be as my business is wholesale and not retail). I want to show the product Description followed by the Vat Rate, e.g Mars €10 (excluding VAt at 21%). It all works for 21% and 13.5% products but when the product has 0% VAT it displays nothing. Is there anyway to get actinic to show Zero % Vat. I am using the following code with Tax Rate to show the VAT, <code>
"(Excluding&nbsp;<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsTax1Used%22%20%2f%3e"><actinic:variable name="TaxName1"/> at <actinic:variable name="TaxRate1"/>%</actinic:block><actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsTax1AndTax2Used%22%20%2f%3e"> and </actinic:block><actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsTax2Used%22%20%2f%3e"><actinic:variable name="TaxName2"/> at <actinic:variable Name="TaxRate2"/>%</actinic:block>)" </code>

Thanks in advance.

Try a condition using

<actinic:block if="%21%20%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsTaxMessageShown%22%20%2f%3e" >
	Zero VAT
</actinic:block>

NormanRouxel, thanks for the reply but I have to ask the stupid question, where and how?. Just spent the last hour trying to do it or find an answer and I cant.
Thanks in advance.

Before or after the block of code you refer to in your first post!

[NormanRouxel]

Or after the line (in layout Standard Tax Exclusive Price):

<actinic:variable name="PreFormattedPrice" value="Product Price Excluding Tax" />

Note that there are 5 different Product Price Layouts. You've not told us which you're using so I'm making an educated guess.

NormanRouxel, I am using "standard tax exclusive price", i thought I got it working by setting p another Block if and using a =False in a block for the "is tax message shown" so when the tax message is not shown it displays the bit of text.

	<Actinic:NOTINB2B> Please Log In to see prices <!--</Actinic:NOTINB2B><actinic:variable name="PreFormattedPrice" value="Product Price Excluding Tax" /> <Actinic:NOTINB2B>--></Actinic:NOTINB2B>
	
	<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsTaxMessageShown%22%20%2f%3e">
	<span class="actxxsmall">
		(Excluding&nbsp;<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsTax1Used%22%20%2f%3e"><actinic:variable name="TaxName1"/> at <actinic:variable name="TaxRate1"/>%</actinic:block><actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsTax1AndTax2Used%22%20%2f%3e"> and </actinic:block><actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsTax2Used%22%20%2f%3e"><actinic:variable name="TaxName2"/> at <actinic:variable Name="TaxRate2"/>%</actinic:block>) 
		
</span>
	</actinic:block>
	<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsTaxMessageShown%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20false" > (Excluding VAT @ 0%) </actinic:block>

The problem is when I publish the page it launches but crashes acinic.

[NormanRouxel]

It's more likely that your NOTINB2B stuff is breaking things.

Try using your code from immediately above but get rid of the NOTRINB2B stuff by replacing the first line with just:

<actinic:variable name="PreFormattedPrice" value="Product Price Excluding Tax" />

Also note that my code in post #2 worked fine when I put it into a clean Standard Tax Exclusive Price layout.

Norman, thanks for your help in trying to get this working, but as I couldnt get it working the way I wanted I have removed it from my site, what I have done is that when I am importing the product it imports the vat into a custom field and displays it that way.

cheers
