Hi there,
I wish to include the surcharge as GST (sales tax).
1. I have changed the name in settings to GST
2. I have set it as a percentage.

The surcharge is not appearing in the ticket cost or on the invoice. am I missing a setting somewhere?

Oops I refreshed my page and it is now appearing.
Could you tell me how I can have the surcharge appear as a separate amount in a column of it’s own?
i.e. Per unit $200, GST $20 Total $220

thanks

Hi Dave,

At this time, the standard invoice template does not have a feature that itemizes these. We have a template that someone had customized to itemize the surcharge in the invoice. If you would like a copy of this template, let us know and we’ll send you a copy.

The pricing module of Event Espresso has been re-written from scratch for Event Espresso 3.2 and one of the improvements will be tax/GST will not be connected to surcharge, there will be options to add each and itemize each.

hi Josh,

thanks for the quick reply, if you could send me a copy that would be great.

I managed to edit /invoice/template.php and added a new header next to Sub total. Now just need to work out how to add a new cell to display the surcharge.

Any chance you could send that file please Josh?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

I think Josh sent you an email. Let us know if you need anything else.

Hi Garth, Josh,

I have received the invoice template but cant work out how to use it. Josh sent some instructions “What I would recommend is copying over the surcharge related changes to template.php. Then copy the newly modified invoice folder to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/gateways. You’ll need to deactivate and reactivate the invoice payment option for the changes to take affect after copying this over.”

So I wasn’t really sure what “copying over the surcharge related changes to template.php” meant. I see the template.php file in the invoice folder but what should I be changing? I tried just uploading the folder contents into the gateways folder as suggested, then deactivating and reactivating the invoice option but there was no change.

I understand that you don’t provide support for this but without the tax on the invoice this plugin is not going to work for me. And i really want it to!

In Australia and many other countries a “Tax Invoice” must show the amount of tax a company has charged an individual. Here is some information which may help when you upgrade the payment options:

WHAT IS A VALID TAX INVOICE?
A valid tax invoice is a document that meets all of the following
requirements:
n it is issued by the supplier, unless it is an RCTI (in which case
it is issued by the recipient)
n it contains enough information to enable the following to be
clearly identified
– the supplier’s identity and ABN
– a brief description of what is sold, including the quantity
(if applicable) and the price of what is sold
– the extent to which each sale is a taxable sale – this can
be shown separately or, if the GST to be paid is exactly
one-eleventh of the total price, as a statement such as
‘total price includes GST’
– the date the document is issued
– the amount of GST (if any) payable for each sale
– if the document was issued by the recipient and GST
is payable for any sale – that the GST is payable by
the supplier
– that the document was intended to be a tax invoice or
an RCTI if it was issued by the recipient.

So what I really want to be able to do is supply an invoice which shows
this http://www.gststartup.gov.au/educational/action_guide/popup/tax_invoice_resources.htm

=======================================================================
In addition I see there is an update available but…I receive this error on my site:

“You have the correct Site License Key for Event Espresso but your current membership access only allows for automatic upgrades on one domain. Please log into your account to manage your Site License Keys or purchase a support license now.”

I haven’t changed domains, moved pages, made any changes to permalinks and I do not have a previous version of the ee lite. I have disabled the two ee plugins (social media and calendar) and have disabled event manager. I haven’t installed this on any other websites.

My thanks in advance.
Dave

Hi Dave,

I can help you with the license key issue, but modifying the invoice template is outside the scope of support. We support several Australian payment gateways, and I believe these should have a means to include all the necessary information on the payment receipts.

I’ll reset the key, and you’ll most likely need to re-enter your site license key and save the General settings.

If possible we’re interested in a copy of this customized template also. In the Netherlands we need to display the VAT amount on the invoice, as it’s required by law.

Hi Josh,

Can you send me this customized template? Haven’t heard from you yet.

Thanks
