    Default Calculating taxes in web shop (bug)

    We want to use DCM for one of our Customers.

    It seem that the shop calculates the taxes wrong, for example:

    We have one article with a price of EUR 12.63 that makes EUR 14.99 with german VAT (19%).

    When i buy one of this article, it costs me EUR 14.99.... thats fine
    But when i take 10 of it it costs EUR 149.94....(4 cents more, than 10 single items).

    The second problem is, that i cant input a price of EUR 15.00, when i want to show taxes in my web shop.


    Is there any solution for that?

    (Is it possible to get the sources of the DCM and change the calculation??)

    Robert,

    To start with your last question the answer is yes as you can buy the developer edition. For the price see http://www.dataaccess.eu/products/ot.../purchase-1023.

    Your own calculation is wrong. 12.63 with VAT makes 15.0297, rounds to 15.03, buy 10 pieces will be 150.30. You could argue about 0.3 cent as it can also be calculated as 10 x 12.63 + 19% = 150,297

    Now, VAT wise there is an issue (at least in the Netherlands). Consumers ALWAYS get a price including VAT (not mentioned specificly as it must be included). Businesses ALWAYS need to get a price without VAT and the VAT is seperately added to the invoice (as they can deduct this from the VAT they pay for delivered services and sold products). This brings an interesting case. An article costing 8.40 euro before VAT costs 10.00 including VAT for a consumer but 9,96 for a business. Taking 10 articles makes the total costs for a consumer 100,00 euro and for businesses 99,96 (so 4 cents less).
