Hi Renate,

Can you give us an example of a price that has 6 decimal places that you need to input?

Hi Renate,

I ran this by the developers and what we’d like to do is build out an extension that can be used to modify the way ticket prices are entered. So instead of inputing a base price + a tax amount, you’d enter a tax inclusive amount (like 195.00) and the tax amount. Then EE would automatically calculate out a base price.

This is an idea at this point, but in the meantime, will it work for you to input the tax inclusive amount for the ticket price? Then where you need to list out the tax amount, like in the invoice template, you could add a little PHP to calculate and display the tax amount as a line item?

Something like this could be used in an invoice or receipt template to display the tax amount as a line item:

<?php // calculate the 19% tax amount from the tax inclusive price
$tax_inclusive_price = $line_item->total();
$pre_tax_price = $tax_inclusive_price * .840336133; 
$tax_amount = $tax_inclusive_price - $pre_tax_price; 
?>
<?php // now display the tax amount in a table cell in the template ?>
<td class="item_r">&euro;<?php echo number_format_i18n($tax_amount, 2); ?></td>

You’re welcome Renata, and thank you for the feedback.
