Tax support

Hi guys,

I have been trying to get your attention for some time now regarding our discussion on implemenation of tax support for EB. As you haven't replied to my posts i the "Wish List" forum or the emails I've sent, I post my questions here.

How is the development of tax support going? Did you receive my input? Was it of any use. Need more? Please give a short update on the matter - and advise if and when we can expect some form of tax support. It's important.

Thanks and regards!

Hi

Tax is one of the important feature for the extension and It is still on my todo list. However, please be patient with me for this feature. These days I am too busy (come back from a holiday, so there are many things need to work on) . Right now, I still working on some small improvements first (sometime just fix small bugs). I will come back to TAX feature in about two weeks from now ! You can trust me, I am not a lazy developer, just too busy these days !

Regards,

Tuan

Hi Tuan,

Great work on the EB module so far. It's a big project and as the only programmer you're doing a splendid job!
I'm just following up on the tax feature. Maybe as a first step you could add an option for invoice numbering?

Thanks for your hard work,
Mike

Great work on this extension by the way but tax support is really a need and not a want for most of us. We cannot collect money without charging taxes. I love the extension but now that I realize I can't take taxes, i'm not sure what to do. I guess i'm going to add them in to the base price but that is going to mess up the amount they pay when I apply coupon codes or discounts most likely. Not sure what to do. This is really a mandatory feature. Thanks

I went ahead and coded it in myself, it was pretty easy so not a big deal. Thanks to your coding and organization, it didn't take me long to find where I needed to edit so I appreciate that. Thanks for the hard work Tuan, i'm sure you will be adding it soon but no rush for me anymore.

Hi dswatson,
I am intrigued to learn how you solved the tax issue for yourself. Any chance of you sharing you expertise?

Yep
Open up the component using ftp or whatever.
Go to views > confermation > and open up view.html.php

Find the code for $totalAmount = $event->individual_price + $feeAmount ;

this code will occur twice, once for individual registration and the other for group.
All I did is modify it to say

$totalAmount = ($event->individual_price + $feeAmount)*1.07 ;
(7% is my tax rate so modify it as you need for your tax rate)

That was it. I did also modify the translation in the backend of your website to that 'payment amount' said 'payment amount (including tax)' because I just wanted to show my customers that I was adding tax since there was not a tax window.

I have made several changes to the code including adding pictures and descriptions to the monthly calendar view and things such as that. The code is organized fairly easily that I can find my way around it without an issue, and I am not really a programmer.
Hope that helps

I am having an issue though but this would probably not apply to most people. I offer registration both online and in my local store. As a result, for in-store registration, I have been just applying a coupon code for 100% off and taking the money instore rather than through the online payment system but still registering them online so I have them in the same system.

For some reason when I added taxes, everything works perfectly for single registration, and group registration, except when I have different pricing for group registration and I register an individual. When I have different pricing for group registration and do an individual register with my 100% coupon code, it no longer registers it as a free event, although it still lists the price as $0.00 but takes you through the payment process which I don't want to happen. Not sure why this is happening but it is pretty obscure.

If anyone has ideas i'd love to hear them.
Thanks
Dan
