diamond204 2 Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Hi,I have just been testing version 1.3.0.5 and it has made a good stride in the direction of fixing US Tax issues – it now has the ability to change a setting on how tax is calculated :classical, inferior, and superior.US should be superior. In the shopping cart, all is calculated correctly.But…………….When the data is passed along to Paypal using the built-in version 1.6 plugin, the calculations go bad. Why? Because the Presta team has created the Paypal module to pass along products bought + cost and that is it. That may work for Europe and many other areas because their sales tax is based per item – in the US, it is based per transaction…So in the US (more specifically in California) you cannot pass along $1.50 product x .975 tax, with tax each is 1.65 × 100 pieces = $165.This is what the Paypal API currently does (v1.6) and is INCORRECT and not valid in the US.It would be great if the Paypal module could just pass along the $1.50 product with no tax attached to the product price. It would pass along $1.50 product x 100 pieces = $150 / after totaled, assess a 9.75 % sales tax in California = $164.63 total (these figures do not include shipping which is usually not taxed in the US).Does anyone know of a solution to this ? Is there an alternative out there or a way to modify the current module to send the tax as a separate line item?Any ideas anyone? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
