If you do : 0.81 * 15, you get 12.15 Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMtYnVnLXJlcG9ydC8yMzg2NS10YXgtYW1vdW50LWluY29ycmVjdD90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Huski](/forum/user/3364-huski "View Huski's Profile")** - [![Huski's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/3364-huski "View Huski's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/3364-huski) Less More - Posts: 301 - Thank you received: 1 - - 15 years 2 months ago [\#23868](#23868) by [Huski](/forum/user/3364-huski "View Huski's Profile") Replied by *[Huski](/forum/user/3364-huski "View Huski's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Tax amount incorrect](/forum/3-bug-report/23865-tax-amount-incorrect#23868 "Hi Even though only small, I notice that the GST (Tax) that appears on the order is always lower than the amount that needs to be charged when multiple items are selected.

For 15 items this is 0.8136 x 15 = $12.20 and same as $134.25 / 11 = $12/20. By not showing the true tax amount, it makes it a lot more work at the end of 3 months when we must pay tax to reconcile all the transactions. The amounts are very small but it makes it easier for accounting software to match figures that are the same instead of having to adjust all transactions. ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMtYnVnLXJlcG9ydC8yMzg2NS10YXgtYW1vdW50LWluY29ycmVjdD90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Away](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86555 - Thank you received: 14304 - - 15 years 2 months ago [\#23869](#23869) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Tax amount incorrect](/forum/3-bug-report/23865-tax-amount-incorrect#23869 "Hi Even though only small, I notice that the GST (Tax) that appears on the order is always lower than the amount that needs to be charged when multiple items are selected.
