In my cart settings I have:

Charge Tax All States

Tax Rate: 17.5

Enable VAT: Yes

When I add an item to my cart and place an order, I see the following in the order summary:

Sub Total :£49.00
Total (incl. VAT): £49.00
VAT included (GetMyCurrency(),17.50%):£7.30

When I go into the admin system and view the order, I see (HTML removed for clarity):

Sub Total: £49.00

Tax: 8.58

Order Total: £57.58

It looks like VAT is being added to my order in the admin system, even though it is included in the cart.

Also the GetMyCurrency() is also probably undesirable :)

Scott, I think the OP was talking about the issue in the Order Total calculation when the admin refers to an order under the Manage Orders page of the store admin. I also got the same issue when I was testing out the module using tax inclusive prices in the products. The cart page gave the correct total as expected though.

The same issue was also mentioned here:

When VAT is enabled the tax is removed from the order total on the manage order details page. This item is fixed now in v3.07 of the cart available on the downloads page.

Just tried the update. The Order Total on the order page is now "correct" if I don't make any adjustments. But I'm afraid it's more of a quick-and-dirty fix. If I adjust the amount (say I want to apply a discount) and click recalculate, the calculation will take the tax amount into account which results in the "tax being charged twice" again as the line total amount is a tax inclusive amount.

Please also note that the Total amount in the invoice is still "double taxed".

I think a more proper fix is to keep the order total logic as in the previous version but to use a tax exclusive amount in the unit cost and line total of each item in the order page, regardless of whether the US sales tax or the VAT/GST is used. (After all only the admin cares about the manage orders page) But to give an option for the admin to display the price in tax exclusive or tax inclusive fashion in the product catalog, the cart, and the invoice as they are customer-facing.

Sorry Dave, but I couldn't find what you had fixed. All the issues I had described were still there after I applied the dll. But thanks very much for the quick response that I really appreciate.

Anyway, even though this is a high priority defect, it's more important to have the fix regression tested properly before releasing. After all we're more into dealing with subscriptions with recurring payments and we're currently evaluating whether to go for the cart module, the registration module, or both. Unfortunately we just hit a more critical issue with the reg module that is essentially a show-stopper for now.
