How do I achieve that in Hikashop?")* Hello, HikaShop 4 has an "automatic tax" system for the shipping. But that system won't take the highest tax, it will process the tax depending the pro-rata of the (shippable) items in the cart Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

We cannot have wrong VAT invoices, you know that. We spent days preparing Hikashop Business and Hikamarket and when we get to the final VAT on delivery, you answer that we cannot use Hikashop in our company’s country. So, what is your solution ?

How do I achieve that in Hikashop?")* Hi, We actually didn't know about that so that's why it's not possible. However, it will be easy to add on our end as it's only a small change in the calculation of the shipping taxes and the modification of the "automatic taxes" setting. I've added it to the todo list for the next version of HikaShop.
