Taxes 1.5

[Franck Brignoli]

Hi,

 

In 1.5 tax rules has been improved:

in one form only you can create a rule for different country, state and even a range of postcode.

Canadian community will be happy to learn that a new tax computation behavior has appear "One After Another" (seet the screenshot for more informations)

As you can see tax rules are not associated to Zones anymore.

 

 

 

 

From a technical perspective:

 

By default, we provide a way to retrieve taxes: "tax rules" but our wishes was to allow developers to create their own way to retrieve taxes (for example via a Webservice), so we have created two classes:

 

an interface "TaxManagerInterface" which define 2 methods:

 

- getTaxCalculator() // a tax calculator is a class which define a list of tax and a way to compute

- isAvailableForThisAddress(Address $address) // returns true if the TaxManager is available for the specified address

 

and a TaxManagerModule class allows you to create a module

Hi, I am developing an application stack for interfacing prestashop with openerp which would make allow also making prestashop full multistore.

in 1.5 would it be possible to obtain, a complete report of taxes applied to an order? I mean a complete breakdown of each an every single tax (tax code) applied to every item on an invoice complete with tax code, amount (without taxes) the tax was applied to, tax amount and amount reported with tax (it may seem redundant but it is handy to avoid rounding errors). It is important as different taxes need to be booked and reported in different accounts when you do book keeping. We are somewhat cooping with prestashop 1.3 (we started development before 1.4 was available, we'll then support 1.3 at the beginning, with 1.4 and eventually 1.5 support later) as there is a limited amount of tax levels (2, product and state) supported. In 1.4 the tax calculation has been improved but it does not seem tax reporting has (or at least we could not find it). I will post this comment on different forums to see if anybody knows better (than me), sorry for the redundancy.

Hi Captain

 

Where do you live? USA ?

We are adding a lot of data in the order historization process, a new table has appear: ps_order_detail_tax which list all the taxes related to an order detail. Do you need to keep the taxes amount associated to each product?

Improving Tax management in 1.5 is critical in my books, Prestashop 1.4 is really lacking and needs a lot of modification to display proper taxes for North American customers.

Check Amazon.com for example how they handle taxes. (see picture attached)

 

What I would like to see for North america:

1 - All prices without taxes

2- A line with shipping cost without taxes

3- A line with Total taxes with the name of the tax (In Canada HST / GST...)

4- A line with the Total.

5- Ajax cart showing the same information

6- Emails showing the same information.

I am currently having a module developed in India for tax management, it will produce a complete tax breakdown for aech product, specifying each tax code and each tax amount . It will be part of the Rialto app stack (interface PS with Open ERP)
