Harmonized sales tax headaches
- by JonYork
Alright Im using the BambooInvoice software, and where I am, we have two sales taxes.
This is how they work
price of item * tax1 = Sum1Tax1
Sum1tax1 *tax2 = Final sales price
Currently, Bamboo invoice does this
Price of Item * tax1 = pricetax1
price of item * tax2 = pricetax2
Price of item + pricetax1 + pricetax2
and this is its code
$this->db->select('(SELECT SUM('.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.amount * '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.quantity * ('.$this->db->dbprefix('invoices').'.tax1_rate/100 * '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.taxable)) FROM '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').' WHERE '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.invoice_id=' . $invoice_id . ') AS total_tax1', FALSE);
$this->db->select('(SELECT SUM('.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.amount * '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.quantity * ('.$this->db->dbprefix('invoices').'.tax2_rate/100 * '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.taxable)) FROM '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').' WHERE '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.invoice_id=' . $invoice_id . ') AS total_tax2', FALSE);
$this->db->select('(SELECT SUM('.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.amount * '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.quantity + ROUND(('.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.amount * '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.quantity * ('.$this->db->dbprefix('invoices').'.tax1_rate/100 + '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoices').'.tax2_rate/100) * '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.taxable), 2)) FROM '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').' WHERE '.$this->db->dbprefix('invoice_items').'.invoice_id=' . $invoice_id . ') AS total_with_tax', FALSE);
How would we modify this code to reflect the actual taxation scheme for my area?
Thanks
