CMS Made Simple Forums

Where I am from the taxes are usually included in the price shown to a customer, i. e. the customer sees the gross price for a product right away. Is there any way to achieve this in this CMS?

Example: The tax for products is 10% in the country where the products are sold, the price shown is ¤100, and this is the gross price, i. e. with tax included (so the net price would actually be ¤91.91 and the tax is ¤9.09). So, the gross price is shown while ordering a product, and in the checkout process the net price and taxes are listed separately in a table with the gross price as sum.

Of course, the tax would be different if the product is ordered from/shipped to a different country, and one can’t know this in advance. But the gross price doesn’t change, just the revenue for the seller (i. e. if a product sold in country A is ordered from country B so that no tax applies, the total revenue for the seller would be ¤100).

So, is this possible, and if yes, how?

My e-commerce system does not support this.

Product prices are net prices. Taxes are calculated at checkout based on which tax module you have selected, and the data you have provided it, and are calculated AFTER any discounts, shipping or handling costs.

OK, and would there be any way to sponsor this feature? And if yes, what would be the rough price range?

OK, if anyone else comes across this: Apparently – at least with calguy’s modules – this is very contrary to the internal workings and therefore can’t be done without completely rewriting everything. So, I’m probably going to leave the tax calculation out altogether and either hard-code a sentence “incl. 10% tax”, depending on the country they ordered from, or just print it on the paper invoice (to be printed separately) the customers get with the orders.
