Tax on Shipping charges

[Phoenix164]

Can the checkout be changed to show the shipping charges including VAT in the drop down box, currently I have ext vat shipping bands.

I'm not sure if there's a way to do that without perl mods. One thing that complicates this is the fact that if you sell products that have different VAT rates then the VAT on the shipping costs are apportioned to the different product VAT rates.

Currently it can't be done.

A perl mod could probably change it using a fixed multiplier, but your best bet is to wait for V9 to be released as this will do what you want.

Ok, thanks for the quick replies.

Is there any way of removing the automatically generated shipping charge prices, i could then add my own through the description with business settings shipping bands etc.

Hi Jonathan,

To remove the price from the shipping class drop-down list you need to do the following:

- browse to your site folder and locate ActinicOrder.pm
- take a backup of this file and then open it in a text editor such as notepad
- search for:

$::s_Ship_bDisplayPrices = $$::g_pSetupBlob{PRICES_DISPLAYED};

- replace this line with:

$::s_Ship_bDisplayPrices = $::FALSE;

- save and close the file and update your site.
