How to only calculate VAT over profits with Quaderno + Woocommerce

  • Hello,

    I use Quaderno to calculate the VAT over the digital products I sell in my webshop. However since a short while I have two types of products, one that I buy and sell myself which requires the full VAT to be calculated over the full price.

    The second are a marketplace type products, where I pay out 80% to the seller, and keep 20% myself as profit. I use a Woocommerce panel for this (WCFM).However for the second product, the VAT is still being calculated over the full price. This results in me paying more VAT than I actually earn on the Commission (since I only earn 20%).

    In this case I only have to pay VAT over the 20% that I take as commission, but I don’t know how to configure this.I assume a specific calculator code would work here but I’m stumped. Hope anyone has some advice!

    I recommend asking through Quaderno’s support channel how you can get a proper VAT calculation for marketplace products. If they are unable to help you with that aspect, at least find out how it’s getting the price to calculate VAT.

    Knowing how it gets the price, ask through WCFM’s support channel how you can alter the price it’s getting for VAT while still showing the correct price to the retail seller. Alternately, how you would show 20% of normal VAT on the checkout page.

    Thank for the reply. I am talking with Quaderno but really need to solve this fast. The VAT is calculated in woocommerce by the Quaderno plugin (based on customer location) and not in WCFM.

    I was thinking as a quick solution perhaps there is a way to code in functions.php that IF a product has a vendor, it just reduces the VAT that is calculated by 80% and charges that on the checkout page, but I’m not sure how to do this.

    There are some sorts of filters applied on checkout page amounts. You can hook into the appropriate filter and alter the amount shown based on whatever criteria might be available. To determine the right filter, either examine the related source code, or ask in the dedicated support channel for WooCommerce. Support for the base version is here. If you’ve purchased any themes or extensions from WooCommerce, their customer support might get you a quicker response.
