Hi Eric, just trying to set up a custom invoice and I would like to use VAT inclusive prices. I have tried using the {item_price:plus_tax} variable in the {exp:ct_admin:invoice order_id=”{segment_3}” customer_id=“CURRENT_USER”} tag but it does not appear to work. Is this correct or I am just doing something stupid? cheers Kenny

Hi Kenny,

You know man, I’m not entirely sure about VAT. Had I not read your issue I would have assumed VAT would be a part of the “plus_tax” variable but now I’m a bit concerned. Would it be at all possible to take a look at your setup and get it working within the code? Since I’m in the US VAT is a literal foreign concept (ha!) so first hand access will go a long way I think.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
we can either show the prices with or without VAT however with business to consumer sales it is more common to show prices including VAT. (We can always show how much VAT applies to the order as a separate line.)

Within CT it is possible to append the price tags like this.. {price} becomes {price:plus_tax} or {item_price:plus_tax} etc. See here http://cartthrob.com/docs/fieldtypes/price_simple/index.html

However when I use it within the ct_admin:invoice tag it does not work. I am using the basic template here changing {item_price} to {item_price:plus_tax}: http://mithra62.com/docs/detail/ct-admin-template-tags/expct-admininvoice
