If you are an Australian vendor, and if you happen to get caught in situation where prices are GST inclusive and you could not rely on stock VAT calculator due to rounded off amount OR you are selling stuff overseas in which GST needed to be deducted, then this extension is for you. It does:
- Make sure your price is GST inclusive
- If Shipping Country is Australia, no GST tax is deducted
- If Shipping Country is NOT Australia, 10% of GST will be deducted and the Tax Charge will display a negative amount on Summary partial
One caveat is that I override the TaxCharge code so the tax rate can be a negative number which is not a very ideal way to do things because the Spree Core Team tries to enforce Charge a positive value.
I did not have time to write a new Tax Credit class, this comes as quick solution. In the future, I would improve this extension to do things as Credit class instead of Tax Charge class. For all Aussies out there, enjoy M.A.T.E!
NOTE: The Tax Rate is hard-coded within the code, it WILL NOT use the Tax Rate you set in the backend.
rake db:migrate
then goes to admin backend and create Tax Rate for your Tax Category using GST Deductor calculator and the zone is GST Deductible zone, just type in any amount for the rate (it's not used btw)
and that's it! Test it with Australian as Shipping Country, you should see Tax Charge shows $0, if others would show - $amount
