Test if Price Exempt of VAT

[jont]

Is there any way to test at product level if the product price has VAT added or is Exempt of VAT?

Looking at the section blob for plus VAT I can see

'TAX_3' => '301=1750=0='

and when exempt

'TAX_3' => '1=0=0='

Posted too soon ... not ideal but a block if

<actinic:variable name="TaxRate1" /> == "0"

tests if exclusive of VAT

I will leave the thread in case of use to anyone else that is bonkers enough to need it.

I cannot get TaxRate1 to work at the product level (error saying that it's not allowed there).

You have to do something like:

<actinic:block type="PriceList" ><actinic:variable name="TaxRate1" /></actinic:block>

and that's hard to put into a condition as it's a layout, not a variable.

UPDATE: Check that your condition is actually working. It doesn't here. E.g. On standard demo site, I put into product layout:

<actinic:block type="PriceList" ><actinic:variable name="TaxRate1" /></actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22TaxRate1%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%200" >
ZERO RATED	
</actinic:block>

On the zero rated books page I see:

0 ZERO RATED

which is fine.

But on the the taxable clothes page I see

17.5 ZERO RATED

which is wrong!

I made the rash post #2 after testing in the Product Price layout ... where it works ... I have been trying in a component drop down and the block is ignored as it is not scoping the product tax from that layout (even a product level UDV will not work at the level either)

Drop down lists are a real pain - Actinic did not expect anyone to want to play with them.
