Topic: About the field Shipping Tax of Tax Groups

I'm using FA 2.2.11

On the database structure the table tax_groups has a field tax_shipping.

It is managed by the script Tax Groups /taxes/tax_groups.php under the label "Shipping Tax" and label "Tax applied to Shipping"
The logic says that only one tax group can be marked as tax_shipping to true.

I search the entire project to see how and when this field is used. I found nothing but the input form and the database management:
/taxes/tax_groups.php
/taxes/db/tax_groups_db.inc

Is this field used in any other place ?
When this fields is used ?
What is it used for ?

Thanks in advance

Shipping tax is used always when you entry any non-zero shipping amount on sales invoice. This is necessary as shipping (in contract to invoice line items) have no tax group configured in items table.

Re: About the field Shipping Tax of Tax Groups

OK, thanks for your fast response.

In the case of products, the selected taxes are the join between customer branch tax group and product item item tax type.
In the case of shipping charge, how this behaves ?

Is it the join between customer branch tax group and shipping tax group ?
OR
All taxes in shipping tax group are included ?

Re: About the field Shipping Tax of Tax Groups

Hi All,

Newbie Alert smile

On Purchase Invoices I cannot seem to find a way to have the Amount shown as the nett figure and the VAT shown in the VAT column of the form.  Any price I enter does not in effect show any tax

Any and all help appreciated
