Topic: VAT on shipping

Hi
I'm a bit confused how the VAT and shipping works. It seems that  on Sales invoice the shipping as the VAT applied, but when you do a credit note, the VAT doesn't take the shipping into account.

Is it a bug or configuration problem ? Is there a way to configure it ?
In the UK it's a bit tricky, because general carrier are subject to VAT whereas post is not.
So we the shipping for a delivery is subject to VAT but when customers send us something back  (credit note), they use the post office which is not.

So in my case the "bug" is in my favor but it's still confusing

Re: VAT on shipping

The shipping tax is going to change in release 2.4. Here you can mark the shipping tax in all tax groups.

If you have troubles using the normal shipping, then create the shipping(s) as service items and use where appropriate.
