Discount Coupon VAT Errors!

[woodsy1971]

Hi all, I seem to be having some issues with the coupon based discount vat calculations, perhaps some one has some ideas.

I have set up two offers on the site, £5 off when you spend over £44.99, and £10 off when you spend over £69.99 this covers both our item prices.

An item costing £69.99, which with the discount applied should show in the cart at £59.99, is showing as £58.74.

I have vat calc set at rounded scientific and in the discount is applied based on actual cart value inc tax (I have tried both options).

it looks to me like actinic is applying the discount from the original undiscounted net price, then adding the vat back on, rather as I want it, to take the £5 or £10 off the final total.

how can I get the offer to work in this way!?

Thanks!

Hi Paul,

Your discount will be applied based on the cart value including tax but
applied to the cart value excluding VAT.

So you will need to make your reward 8.51 (10 - vat) so the cart value will be 59.99.
