TOPIC: Calculating Taxes After Discount

(I did a search before posting this, hopefully it hasn't been posted before)

I have an event that used discount codes and taxes. I would like to have the tax calculated based on the amount after the discount, and not before the discount.

I was just informed by some state official that:

CA Revenue & Taxation Code, section 6051, sales taxes are imposed on "the gross receipts of any retailer from the sale of all tangible property sold at retail"

Would events be exempt? Or is my only solution is to edit the code so that it calculates correctly?

Whether events are exempt from taxes, I can't answer that for you. That would be a question for your state department probably.

However, you CAN order where in the calculation process the tax is calculated. In the backend event management, on the right you will see "Fee Ordering" for each event. Click that and you'll get a popup with a drag-n-drop setup for anything that could be bringing a fee or discount to that event. Drag your Tax box to the bottom of the list if you want the % tax to be calculated after all other fees are done... or wherever else you need it. Thanks.

FYI, wasn't asking for help on tax exemption, the information was presented as an overview of the situation.

Thanks for reply, I did look into the link "Fee Ordering" prior to asking the question but there's no ability to re-order the items. I've tried this on 2 browsers, IE and Firefox. I've also went as far as having another individual on a different computer do the same with no success.

Is there another solution to edit the fee ordering? Code editing even?

Once you drag-n-drop your fee order items around, just close that popup and they will be saved. If you are having an issue with that, I'll have to assume you have an older build. If you are running a current version (2.7.5) and your fee ordering changes are not being saved, submit a ticket so we can check it out. Thanks.

I have just found the fee ordering window, finally.
I have dragged tax to the bottom of the list however this doesn't seem to have any effect on the calculation. The tax calculation is still being done on the pre-discount price.
I am using the latest DT Register with Joomla 1.7.
Any light shed on this would be appreciated.

Peta,

We recently discovered that Fee Ordering was not working completely. It was already fixed. The current package is 2.7.13a and fee ordering works fine. If you find an issue with this latest package, submit a ticket please with specific details.
