Shipping tax calculation

[sstottelaar]

Hi there,

I want to implement shipping tax in my store, but I'm having trouble with the setup.

In my config I have this enabled:

'tax_engine_config' => [
        // Basic Engine
        'rate' => 21,
        'included_in_prices' => false,
        'shipping_taxes' => true,

        // Standard Tax Engine
        'address' => 'billing',

This is my tax setup in Statamic:

The applied rate should be 21%, but in the calculation, I get a different percentage than expected (approx 17,39%):

My shipping rate is €2,99 (excl. tax) and the calculated total with tax is €3,51.

Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

If you create a product with the same price, do you get the same calculation? What's the "inc tax" total you're expecting?

Sorry for the delay, but the issue remains. This time on another site. Say I want to ensure the total shipping cost (including 21% tax) to be exactly €10, how would I set this up? I've tried multiple things:

• Set the calculateCost in my shipping method to 1000
• Set the calculateCost in my shipping method to 826 (€10 - 21% tax)
• Toggled between Prices include tax? in my default shipping tax rate on/off

Take a look at this example:

In this example the cost of my shipping method is set to 826 with these settings:

I'd expect the shipping_total_with_tax to be exactly €10, but somehow it calculates €9,69.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

EDIT:

When setting Prices include tax? to true I get the following:

The total sum of the cart is as expected now (€20 for the cart + €10 shipping), but the values for shipping_total and shipping_total_with_tax are equal. My expectation would be that shipping_total_with_tax would be €10 in this case.

I've just tried to replicate this scenario in my test site and it seems to be working fine for me....

^ using {{ sc:cart:shipping_total }}, {{ sc:cart:shipping_total_with_tax }} and {{ sc:cart:tax_total }} in this screenshot.

The shipping tax rate is set to 21% and my shipping method is returning 1000. 🤔

Could it be using one of the other tax rates you have configured instead? If you change the other tax rates to 0% and change something on the order to let it recalculate (like resubmitting the "select shipping method" form), does tax still get applied to shipping or not?

but the values for shipping_total and shipping_total_with_tax are equal. My expectation would be that shipping_total_with_tax would be €10 in this case.

Whoops, that's a bug. I've fixed it in #1095, which will be included in a release shortly.

As an FYI: I'm hoping to re-work the tax system in a future version, the current system can be pretty confusing, even for me and I built the thing. 😂

Thank you for looking into it, shipping_total_with_tax now returns the expected value.

And I'm all for making it less confusing haha, but it seems to work fine. Cheers!
