Special VAT for category not working?

English forums
1

Hi,

I need to set up a different tax for certain categories in Community Edition 4.8.3: Standard setting 20 %, selected categories 0 %.
Obviously there is a backend category setting for this (special VAT), but entering 0 there has no effect on the VAT calculated in the cart.
(Yes, the tmp folder has been cleared before testing…)
Do you have any idea what’s going wrong?
Thanks!

P.S.: In the current Demo Shop it’s working perfectly :-/

Hi,

not sure what’s going wrong there.
I just guess it is about the new tax regulation for electronic products, right? You would need an additional module for that.

Just in case someone else stumbles across this issue:
I found the reason for this behaviour, and a rather easy solution.

I am using multidimensional variants. Obviously the calculation of VAT [B]does not take the assigned categories of the parent article into account[/B] (where the special VAT of 0 is set), but only those of the specific child article.

This is how to fix this:
Go to
Master settings > Core Settings > System > Variants
Check "Display Variants in Assignment Lists in eShop admin"
Now you can assign children articles collectively right in your category via drag and drop.

Thanks Marco, no, it’s because of UK taxes: Kids clothing has 0 % tax, the rest has 20 %…
