Tax calculated over full price instead of sale price

  • We have some bundled products created, but when applying a discount amount to them and then going to checkout, the tax is calculated using the full price instead of the discounted price. But when you’re using the percentage discount this doesn’t happen, when you go to checkout it calculates the tax using the discounted price.

    Hi @ifernandezm ,

    For your information, in order to offer the amount discount to subproducts, we use the negative values. As it’s impossible, also difficult, to decide which tax class and status can be applied to the amount discount, we decide to calculate the discount AFTER calculating the subtotal of all subproducts: quantity multiplied with the unit price then add the item tax, eventually, amount discount.

    The situation is difficult with the percentage discount as even when you calculate the discount before or after the tax, there is not much difference since the calculations only involve percentages. It’s easier to calculate the prices properly in this case.

    If you find that the prices are not suitable for your purpose, you can consider changing the amount discount to the percentage to avoid this issue or offer a voucher/coupon instead of the amount discount. This will also avoid incorrect pricing issues with some dynamic pricing or discount rules plugins.

    I’m afraid this is the only workround for your problem.

    Best regards.

    Right now we have the product offered on 2 different currencies, so the percentage discount wouldn’t work the same way, giving different discount values on each currency, so that’s not an option for us right now.

    So there’s no way to calculate the tax after the discount when using your plugin?

    Best regards

    Hi @ifernandezm ,

    I’m afraid no. Our plugin uses the post-tax prices to make sure the tax can be calculated properly to the item subtotal before calculating the discount. So the discount is exempt from tax anyway.

    Best regards.
