Tax providers create order lines, and don't update VAT properties. Take a look at the order in the backend / frontend / database and you'll see lines of type 4 which means it's a tax line.

To see the implementation, look at EcomTaxProvider and the base class TaxProvider

And there are no VAT ontax lines...

Hi guys,

I have tried accessing the properties in the ViewModel (cart summary) and this tag: order.TotalTax.PriceWithoutVATFormatted correctly returned the value of the tax without VAT.
I can see why the tax would not be (usually) a VAT carrier, but one of my customers is using a form of Charges that is (apparently) subject to VAT charges as well.
We cannot handle this as a regular product for various reasons. So far, it seems that the ViewModel properties are doing what we expect them to do. Based on your response, I suppose that the template tags will not be adjusted to reflect the same approach, right?

Thank you,
Adrian

Hi guys,

One more thing about this topic.
If I set the tax (flat rate provider) to 50, the displayed tax is 60.5 (50 + 21% VAT rate).

Therefore, some logic exists for VAT and Taxes.

I hope this helps.

Hi

VAT on taxes is affected on 2 things - if the prices in database is set to be with vat or not - and then the tax provider it self has VAT=true/false. The flat tax provider is hardcoded to vat = true - so it actually adds VAT. That should probably be a setting so it can be controlled.

The Ecom:Order.Taxes.Total tags are reflected by the setting "show prices with vat" - so if you add ?PricesWithVAT=false|true - the tax amount would change accordingly.

So we could change those 2 things - to correctly calculate sum of order taxes when VAT is included - and being able to set that on the flattaxprovider.

Hi Nicolai,

Ok. It makes sense. Maybe also correct the template tags to reflect the with/without VAT values correctly?

That's assuming the template tags will still be a thing for a while.

Thank you,

Added a bug to fix the totals using the order renderer. https://doc.dynamicweb.dev/documentation/fundamentals/dw10release/releasenotes/workiteminfo.html?workitemid=25988

Added a feature to implement a setting to control VAT using the flattaxprovider. https://doc.dynamicweb.dev/documentation/fundamentals/dw10release/releasenotes/workiteminfo.html?workitemid=25989

Worth noting that Ecom:Order.Taxes.Total.* tags will get the correct values.

"Ecom:Order.Taxes.TotalPrice" tags will remain unchanged and will show taxes depending on if prices are shown with or without VAT

Thank you,

Adrian
