special tax for some situation in Spain

Hi,

I need some help for configuring some special tax for some customers (sometimes), not defined by address, state nor country. I have to explain the situation:
In Spain, some taxpayer are "committed" (compeled by tax law) to pay an extra tax called "recargo de equivalencia". This depends on the customer, not on the seller, so the customer have to ask to pay this at checkout, and ask for invoices including this tax. (*).

I thought doing a tax rule (System>Taxes) BUT doing this way I'm only able to restrict it by ACL, and it would force me to sort my clients accordingly; moreover, doing this way, I suppose the rate would appear on the lists of products next to VAT, when in truth the appropriate is to add it only upon arrival at checkout after I asked the customer.

In Hikashop when you create a tax rule you can restrict by "Customer Type": Individual/Company with VAT number/Company whitout VAT number. I imagine asking the customer the same way: if he need or not the "recargo de equivalencia" tax, and if the answer is yes, to apply it

(I tought to solve this using custom fields but frankly I have not known how to do for add some rate to the total due. )

Any ideas, help or clues are greatly appreciated.

(*)Note for developers: In Spain, the accounting systems include this posibility of charge extra taxes like this one (there are others also depending on the kind of products, e.g. "canon digital" tax for digital media). It would be great Hikashop having this feature. (or maybe it's there and I have not heard yet?)

Hello,

In Spain, some taxpayer are "committed" (compeled by tax law) to pay an extra tax called "recargo de equivalencia". This depends on the customer, not on the seller, so the customer have to ask to pay this at checkout, and ask for invoices including this tax.

Hi Mohamed,
doing this way <u>I suppose</u> the rate would appear on the lists of products next to VAT...but what I'm looking for is a way to add it upon arrival at checkout, after I asked the customer if he/she wants or do not.

Thanks Nicolas,

regarding your mention of the customer type, now there are three types: Individual/Company with VAT number/Company whitout VAT number. I suppose that those types are determinate by the field "VAT number" at table address (when you ask the billing address), aren't?, I imagine asking the customer the same way using a custom field: if he need or not the "equivalence surcharge", and if the answer is yes, to change the type of customer and add this one to the total amount before to pay.

Is it possible? I was looking for doing some test at "Custom Fields", but I didn't find how to.

Thanks
