Showing Tax 1 and Tax 2 as one entity

[spritch]

I am using both Tax 1 and Tax 2 for applying VAT to my products.

I am using both as some of my products are liable to VAT relief (exemption), whilst others are not. I am therefore allocating these products to Tax 2 and allowing exemption on this tax (whilst not allowing exemption on Tax 1 for all other products).

Because of this the Shopping Cart displays a line for both of the taxes. I would like to just show one line of tax in the shopping cart, which would be the sum of both Tax 1 and Tax 2.

Can anyone help please?

Hi there

Im not too sure if this can be done or not as they are two seperate tax rates... I have forwarded you're query onto our development team to see if this can be done.

Hi there

You can create the VAT as one entity by following these steps-

Edit Act_ShoppingCartxml.html in notepad.

1. Remove the code from <Actinic:REMOVE TAG="Tax1Row"> to <Actinic:Remove>
2. Remove the code from <Actinic:REMOVE TAG="Tax2Row"> to <Actinic:Remove>
3. Then add the following

<TR>
<TD ALIGN=RIGHT
COLSPAN="NETQUOTEVAR:PRICECOLSPAN"><B><SPAN
CLASS="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:TAX<Actinic:REMOVE
TAG="Tax1Row">1</Actinic:REMOVE><Actinic:REMOVE
TAG="Tax2Row">2</Actinic:REMOVE>CAPTION</SPAN></B></TD>
<TD ALIGN=RIGHT
BGCOLOR="NETQUOTEVAR:CHECKOUTBG"><SPAN
CLASS="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:TAX<Actinic:REMOVE
TAG="Tax1Row">1</Actinic:REMOVE><Actinic:REMOVE
TAG="Tax2Row">2</Actinic:REMOVE></SPAN></TD>
NETQUOTEDEL:REMOVE
<TD ALIGN="CENTER"
ROWSPAN="NETQUOTEVAR:REMOVEROWSPAN">&nbsp;</TD>
NETQUOTEDEL:REMOVE
</TR>

Now if you edit ActinicOrder.Pm using notepad

1. Replace: @Response = FormatPrice($nTax1, $::TRUE, $::g_pCatalogBlob);
with
@Response = FormatPrice($nTax1 + $nTax2, $::TRUE,
$::g_pCatalogBlob);

2. Replace: @Response = FormatPrice($nTax2, $::TRUE, $::g_pCatalogBlob);
with
@Response = FormatPrice($nTax1 + $nTax2, $::TRUE,
$::g_pCatalogBlob);

3. Search: $hVariables{$::VARPREFIX . 'TAX2'} =
ACTINIC::EncodeText2($sTax2);

Next to this line you have } after this you add the following

$hVariables{$::VARPREFIX . 'TAXCAPTION'} = '';
$hVariables{$::VARPREFIX . 'TAX12CAPTION'} =
$hVariables{$::VARPREFIX . 'TAX1CAPTION'};
$hVariables{$::VARPREFIX . 'TAX'} = '';
$hVariables{$::VARPREFIX . 'TAX12'} =
$hVariables{$::VARPREFIX . 'TAX1'};

Hope that helps
