How do I avoid charging tax for gift certificates for those states where tax is added for standard products?
No Tax on Gift Certificates
- As far as I am aware, Virtuemart does not give this ability to tax/not tax specific products in state taxes. This is the closest I could find to it, but it deals with VAT: http://dev.virtuemart.net/redmine/issues/166
- Has this issue been fixed in 2.018a? I just purchased Awocoupon Pro and going crazy trying to find a workaround. Thanks.
- For Virtuemart 2, taxes is controlled in the taxes and calculation rules, you should be able to avoid it for specific product there.
- Update to post. VM 2.0.20b takes care of this miserable issue. Rejoice! :)
- I am using version 2.4.9 of AWO Coupon Pro. Joomla version 3.5.1. Virtuemart version 3.0.16. I an having this same problem. There are 4 product categories in my store. One of those categories is "Gift Certificates" I have 2 Gift certificate products, both assigned to the Gift Certificate category. I have a tax rule that charges 7.5% sales tax on purchases made by Ohio Residents. I have that rule applied to all of my product categories EXCEPT for Gift Certificates. But when the Gift Certificate is put in the cart the 7.5% tax is added. I've been searching for an answer for 2 days now. How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Mike - Seyi solved this issue for me. I wish to thank him for his patience. I had been trying to solve this for several days and was becoming quite frustrated. Seyi saved the day! Thank you
- You are welcome. To anyone else who might be interested in the solution for Virtuemart 3.0.16:
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=134610.msg468220#msg468220 - I had the same issue and as I stated previously, it was solved. This is what I did.
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=134610.msg468301#msg468301 - That is a better solution. If you do not need any of the calc rules, then on the product apply no rules. Requires no code changes.
