Thread: Display VAT inclusive prices

    Default Display VAT inclusive prices

    My store is set up for inclusive VAT (VAT.DefaultSetting = 1) but the store/product pages show VAT exclusive prices unless a visitor is logged in. Does anyone know of a way to display inclusive prices to visitors? (this would be considered normal for a consumer store)

    While my store is mainly for consumers but I need to use VAT functions so that any businesses or other able to reclaim VAT can see VAT values, Channel Islands customers can be charged net of VAT etc. So I can't just turn VAT off.

    Thanks.

    um, how could we show vat inclusive if we don't know where the customer/site visitor is even from?

    it would be inclusive to "what" locale specifically?

    I've done this (www.3mselect.co.uk) but cannot remember how.
    I do know that it was done through the admin interface rather than with code mods though.

    Ok, is this regarding the 3M site or another one? Sorry, you'll have to catch me up on this.

    I cannot reproduce your results. My AppConfigs:

    VAT.AllowCustomerToChooseSetting = false
    VAT.DefaultSetting = 1
    VAT.Enabled = true

    I ensure that I'm logged-out, then display a product. I get:
    Price: £37.15 (GBP) inc vat

    If I switch to VAT.DefaultSetting = 2, then I get "ex vat".

    I'm running v7.0.2.5.

    This is regarding kat1's site - I just used my site as an example to show that the behaviour kat1 wants is possible.

    Thanks everyone for your interest.

    Storefront, this is a legitimate need. 97%+ of our customers are UK consumers who will pay VAT and would normally expect to see this included in the prices for a UK based web site. The <3% would be businesses or those whom for medical reasons might be exempt VAT on certain products.

    My VAT settings are the same as jwolthuis' but I'm certainly seeing VAT exclusive prices on my product pages. e.g. http://simplyfeet.elephantsneverforg...tsy-shoes.aspx

    Took a look at the 3M site. It uses the (!VATSELECTLIST!) token which might be a solution for us. I tried to implement this on our test site but for some reason it doesn't work. Not sure why.

    Hmm....

    I played around with the following :-
    http://simplyfeet.elephantsneverforg...x&vatsetting=1
    &
    http://simplyfeet.elephantsneverforg...x&vatsetting=2

    Neither seems to show me anything other than £63.79 (which I guess is your ex VAT price).
    Seems to me that maybe you need to set the default locale?

    There certainly seems to be something wrong in my settings. I tried the VAT dropdown on a second site I'm building and it works fine.

    I can't find anywhere to change the default locale though - any ideas.

    Thanks.

    Getting a little closer with this. I don't think there is anything wrong with my settings after all.

    The change VAT dropdown works for a logged in user. However it won't work for an anonymous visitor leaving the VAT exclusive price in place even if you change the setting.

    The 3M select site has obviously found a way around this as their VAT drop down works a charm.

    http://www.3mselect.co.uk/c-247-comm...-products.aspx

    Any ideas how they've done it?

    I'm fairly sure I haven't done anything 'clever'.
    If you want to give me some login details I can take a look for you.....

    Kat, please submit a ticket to support together with your admin credential so we can see what's going on with your vat settings. Make sure to reference this thread so we won't ask you to provide additional information anymore.
