Recently we had a 3rd party developer put together a bit of custom code for our Event Espresso website that modified the promotions plugin to include an option to make a discount “Primary Attendee Exclusive”, in that it applied a 25% discount to additional attendees but not the primary registrant. This works fine, however, we’ve found that the tax is not calculated correctly, please find the description of the issue from our developer below as well as as screenshot to illustrate the issue:
“The problem is with Event Espresso it calculates the tax based on total amount. Even if I use the normal promotions plugin it makes the same calculations.Also, whenever I try to change the taxes and add a discount to it Event Espresso code would override it.
The code written in the Event Espresso core plugin only calculates taxes based on total rather than the sub-total.”
It looks like the Primary Attendee exclusive amount isn’t getting included when the VAT is calculated. Do you see how the first two line items have asterisks (which means they’ll be included in the tax calculation) and the Primary Attendee exclusive item doesn’t have an asterisk?
Your developer should be able to make that a taxable item and then things will calculate correctly.
