VAT Changes

[Nicola]

Hi All

I have changed the VAT to 15% in business settings and that is all ok. But in my product section details it has not changed.

Does anyone know how to change all the section deatils to 15% if you link through to my site http://www.porreda.com/acatalog/handbags.html
and have a look at the handbags, on the product preview page the prices are showing £9.11 incl VAT and when you go into the product they show £8.914 incl VAT.

Thank You

Nicola

Can you provide the code that produces your section link layout i.e. what it is that you are using to put the price in that layout. It looks to me as though you have something manual in there, instead of the auto price layout solution.

UGH, just noticed it's V7, undoubtedly the code within then.

Nicola,

Sections don't have prices, so as Lee says there must be something in your section template that gets that price to show, you will need to reprogram that.

Hi Lee

I upload all the products from sage and then create each section detail manually. I enter the price in the description of the new section excl vat. I did not originally set up actinic and cannot get hold of the person who did.

Have I totally confused you? or are you able to help

Nicola,
in V7 these prices are most likely held in CUSTOMVARs for each section, and if so then it is a manual task to go through and change them individually.
Or you could upgrade to 9 and have Actinic do this automatically for you

talk to your developer as there were all sorts of hacks done in v7 to get the prices to show. Obviously it's getting the wrong price so as jan says it needs redoing to generate the correct price. This was not a standard feature of v7.

I enter the price in the description of the new section excl vat.

From looking at the site it looks like you are entering them including VAT not excluding VAT. You will probably need to go through the sections and correct the prices manually.

Hi Fergus

I tried changing them but as I enter them excl VAT it still calculates at 17.5%. I didn't orginally set up Actinic and cannot speak to the perosn who did.

Best Regards

Nicola,

You have a javascript function at the top of your template which I think might be doing the VAT conversion:

function SectionPriceFormatFunction(saleItem, singlegift, price)
{
var strIDs = '';

if (price == null || price == 0)
return strIDs;

price = price * 1.175;
price = price / 100;

if (saleItem == 'yes')
strIDs += "<font color=red > Sale Price £" + price.toFixed(2) + "</font>";
else if (singlegift == 'yes')
strIDs += "<font color=green> Single Gift Price £" + price.toFixed(2) + "</font>";
else
strIDs += "Qty Price £" + price.toFixed(2);

return strIDs;
}

Try changing this line in your template to 1.15 and see if that fixes it.

price = price * 1.175;
