Changing tax inclusive/exclusive setting based on user
-
Site has two types of user, both of whom will see precisely the same products at precisely the same prices. The tax applicable to both is VAT (this is in Ireland). Selling tangible goods, mainly within Ireland but also to the UK. No other countries, no virtual products, so this is not a question in relation to EU regulations re VAT on virtual products.
- Retail Customer: Must by law be shown prices inclusive of tax (VAT) and all totals in cart/checkout must also include VAT. In other words, should not be bothered by the existence of VAT at all.
- Vat Registered Customer: Will be charged VAT but may be able to claim it back from the tax authorities. For this reason these users need:
- At a bare minimum to have the option of a receipt with VAT shown on a separate line in the totals.
- Ideally will also show separate VAT line in cart/checkout
- Ideally will see item prices in checkout/cart/receipt without VAT
I’ve figured out a way to show/hide VAT inclusive or inclusive pricing on the products based on either user role or on a cookie. But that’s not really doing anything for the receipt, which is the crucial bit.
None of the wholesale pricing plugins I’ve seen deal with different tax settings – other than to remove it altogether for some users, which is not the requirement here.
Can anyone point me to hooks or filters that I might be able to use to achieve this?
Thanks
