Topic: Tax Freight Problem

I found an older related topic in this forum :
https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=99
refering to version 2.0, but a similar problem still persists in 2.1

The Freightcost uses the first Tax Type in the indicated Tax Group, but in my case it should use the second one. There is no way to change the order of the entered types in a group.

I'v solved the problem by entering an extra WHERE-line in the get_shipping_tax_group_items()-function in \taxes\db\tax_groups_db.inc.

It would be nicer if you could mark which Tax Type inside a Tax Group should be used for the Freight Costs, just as you can mark the Tax Group to be used.

Re: Tax Freight Problem

You should create a Tax Group (you might call it Tax Shipping), including just the correct Tax Type and marking the Tax Shipping.

Re: Tax Freight Problem

I'm not sure I understand the problem. In Tax Groups you should have one of the groups marked as used for shipping. If none of your  standard group is suitable you can create one more special tax group for this with only those tax rates you need, so where is the problem?

Re: Tax Freight Problem

Joe's solution was too obvious. Just didn't think of it. Shame on me...

Thanks for the quick reponse.
