Different shipping costs for different Taxes

    Hi,

    For our website we have products with different tax Rates. We have a high (Standard) rate of 21% and a low tax rate of 6%.

    We have a standard rate for our shipping cost of €2,95. Here we have to calculate tax rates over our shipping costs.

    If i only fill in the standard rate as €2,438 the high rate products have a shipping cost of €2,95, but the low rate shipping cost become €2,59 because it uses the 6% tax rate on €2,438

    If i add 2 shippings classes like “Tax high” and “Tax low” with Tax high = €2,438 and Tax low = 2,783 and delete the standard rate of €2,438 shippings costs become €3,36 if a high and low tax product are combined in the shoppingbag. In this case WooCommerce should only use the most expensive shipping class. And it does because the back-end price is exclusive Taxes. But it uses the Tax rate of the high tax product on the shipping class for low tax products.

    Can anyone help me on fixing this problem?

    The situation i need is that shipping costs are always €2,95. In the back-end it should do this:

    €2,438 for high tax products and use 21% Tax rate
    € 2,783 for low tax products and use 6% Tax rate
    €2,438 if high and low tax products are combined and use 21% Tax rate

    Thank you in advance

  • It sounds like you are trying to use shipping rates to modify tax. Is this correct?

    Hi mtruitt,

    No this is incorrect. Tax settings are correct, but have to be calculated over shipping costs.

    If a customer buys a 21% taxed product shipping costs also have 21% tax.
    If a customer buys a 6% taxed product shipping costs also have 6% tax.
    If a customer buys a 6% and 21% taxed product shipping costs have 21% tax.

    But in the back-end: ‘Shipping methods -> Shipping zones -> Flat rates’
    we can only fill in one price for shipping costs (tax excluded). So if we fill in the 2,95 6% tax excluded price it won’t be correct (2,95) if a customer buys a 21% taxed product or both 6% and 21% products.

    If we fill in the 2,95 21% tax excluded price it won’t be correct if a customer buys a 6% taxed product.

    The shipping rates option would be a option if there was a option to choose like “Per order – Use to cheapest Shipping class”

    I’m not sure I fully understand.

    It sounds like the shipping cost should always be 2,95 and depending on which product category is purchased 21% or 6% the tax should be pulled out of the different rate.

    So the 21% class the shipping total is 2,95 with 0,62 as tax and 2,33 as the shipping cost. The the percentage changes if a product is purchased in the 6% tax class.

    If I’m interpreting you correctly, then this isn’t something WooCommerce can handle on it’s own and you’ll need some custom code to make it work.

    Hi Dustin,

    you understood correctly. We fixed it with table rate shipping plugin now. Problem solved! Thank you for your reply.
