I have a product that requires tax on the physical item included with a service. I can't figure out how to show the total price on the service and still be able to charge tax on the physical item. I've setup a bundle with the service as the primary product and the physical item as the secondary, but if I include the price of the physical item in the service price to get the right display, I end up with a higher total because the sub-SKU is added in at cart time. Suggestions?

Hi Kevin:

We are running DNN 6.01.04/SmithCart 4.93.0.

Our client bundles hardware with some of their services. They only sell the hardware in a bundle, never as a standalone. They have to collect tax on the hardware, but the service is tax-exempt. 

So my existing setup has both the hardware and the service set up as products. The hardware is defined as a bundled product for the service, and is priced separately for the tax calcuation. If I select the "use primary product price and weight", the cost of the hardware is excluded, as is the tax. 

The issue is that the service needs to show a total price which includes the hardware cost on the catalog entry. 

Thoughts?

thanks.

Hi Kevin. I do have Tax Exempt set for the primary product. The problem is how to show a total price that includes the secondary, and only charges tax on the secondary. Specific example:

Total cost of service is $249. This includes the price of the hardware, which is $120.

Both the service and the hardware are defined as products. I then bundle them with the service as the primary.

Service is set to tax exempt. Product is set to tax. Service is priced as 249. Product is priced at 120. I get the tax calculated correctly on the 120, but end up with a total price of $369 in the cart. 

Perhaps this is not the right approach to this problem. Other suggestions?
