Problem with tax

I have a problem with the taxes on the ticket price.
We have round ticket prices like €490 (incl. tax) and I want to the tax from this price in the invoice or receipt. But I have to add for each ticket the tax with the option of “this ticket is taxable” so the price will increase.
If I put in the ticket price excl. tax than sometimes the total ticket price won’t be exactly the round number (for Example 490,01 or 489,99).
Is there another possibility to show the tax on the invoice without the need of a calculator beside? Can I put in just the right ticket price and on the invoice it extracts the tax just to show how much it is?

I have an issue which fit to this title.

We need to show everywhere the gross price and just show the tax at the end before the total price for the purchase.
So do I need to set the ticket on taxable? Because then I need to count every price down to a net price and the gross price sometimes is not a round number.
For example I need a gross price of 490 EUR:
net price 411,77 + tax 78,24 = gross price 490,01
net price 411,76 + tax 78,23 = gross price 489,99

Is there another solution without price modificator?

Hi Heinz,

Please see this thread which discusses the same thing:

Josh, that is exactly my problem.
I want to show the tax before the total price in the receipt and the invoice.
Where do I put in that mentioned PHP code?

Hi Heinz,

The code would go into the invoice template. Its file name is invoice_body.template.php.

You can prevent the modified copy from being overwritten by copying it to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/modules/gateways/Invoice/lib/templates

Please note that if you load a customized PHP invoice template, the new Invoice template editor in Messages will no longer work. An alternative solution that may work for you is to clearly include the tax amount in the ticket’s description field. This will allow the tax amount from the VAT included price to display on the receipt and invoice without doing any custom coding.

If I include the [TXN_TAX_SUBTOTAL] shortcode I get 0.00 as the tax amount.
I have disabled the “this ticket is taxable” modifier. Where does the tax come from now?

Hi Heinz,

The tax amount (0.00) comes from not checking the box. If you are not going to use the checkbox, it’d be best to remove the [TXN_TAX_SUBTOTAL] shortcode from the template.
