apply Coupon before tax

Hi,

I've realised coupons are applied after tax (VAT). So i've got a product for £99.99, VAT is say £16.66, we offer a coupon with a £50 discount, yet were still paying £16.66 VAT?????



This is not right under UK law is it? How can we apply the coupon before VAT to the sub total????

If this requires a core hack I do not mind, please let me know if it's possible.

Thanks.

Hi,

In the configuration there is an option to apply the discounts before or after tax.

That option does not work. I saw somewhere you said that discounts were different to coupons and that option does not work with coupons.

Please can you clarify this nicolas.

Thanks.

I must say that we changed lots of things related to discount and tax calculations in recent releases so I'm not sure. I'll have to test that on our end tomorrow to give you a proper answer.

If you want to have the coupon price to be displayed before tax on the checkout, you shoudl try to change the line:
to:
in the file 'cart' of the view 'checkout' that you can edit via the menu Display->Views.

Thanks. Will this minus the coupon from the unit price and calculate the VAT after this?

That will display the coupon price calculated before the taxes.
The total of the cart won't be affected.

Hi Nicolas,

So how would I get the total of the order to be affected indeed?

Here in the US we also need the discount handled before tax, and right now even if I change the cart view as mentioned above, the total is still incorrect (too much taken out, i.e. the tax value is still included in the amount to reduce the order subtotal).
