Hello,

This is due to VirtueMart roundings, indeed. VM calculates taxes and roundings in a special way and that's probably afecting the total rounding, that's why you get 22,01 instead of 22%. I have seen this a couple times before. it should be easy to fix.
can you send me joomla and FTP access at support@ joomlathat.com so I can take a look?

Hi,
I found this: in Virtuemart there is "rounding only on video" option in the configuration --> prices: according to its value, I solve a problem but I find another about final total price. I try to explain:
- case 1: if I unset the option, taxes rounding issue is present: on IM I see 21.98%, 22.01%, but even 22.00% repeated more than once! Furthermore, Virtuemart and IM show two different order totals (difference is just some euro cents);
- case 2: if I set the option, I do not have the issue: I see always 22% on IM; problem is that both Virtuemart and IM show the same but "wrong" prices due to approximation.

Let's do a numeric example: an item have a base price of 8.88. Calculating a recharge of 30% means a total of 11.544. Now, provided a 2 decimals rounding on all prices on Virtuemart, if a customer orders 3 items --> in case 1 VM shows 11.54 x 3 = 34.62 while in case 2 VM shows 11.544 x 3 = 34.63. Instead, IM shows always 34.63 in both cases.
So in case 2 VM and IM prices are equal but "wrong", because user sees subtotal of 11.54 in invoice, that multiplied by 3 gives 34.62. This is just user perception.

So fixing the tax percentage rounding is actually easy: I just need to set the option mentioned at the beginning. Now the problem has become: how to show "correct" price?

Let me know if, even after this post, you need the ftp access.

Regards

yes I would need FTP access.

the key here is WHEN the rounding is made (before "multiplying" or after). I think I can work a way around this if you can provide me joomla and FTP.

also, besides of that, you have the option to work with more decimals in IM. have you tried that?

I got a question in regards to the tax

For e.g. I have tax set at 9.5% but for whatever reason it rounds it to 10% for the overall tax.
I have removed item taxes because they're not being used. Is there an option to make it round 1 decimal point?
Thank you!

where do you see this rounding? can you make a screenshot?

here is screenshot of the field. I have it set at 9.5%
http://prntscr.com/dxhszw

and the output on the invoice saying 10%:

oh I see. You can change this in one line of code.

are you OK modifying a PHP file?

it's file /components/com_invoices/views/tmpl/default.php on line 175:

$print_tax_value = InvoicesHelper::format($tax->value, "", "", 0)."%";

you can set it to 1 decimal:

$print_tax_value = InvoicesHelper::format($tax->value, "", "", 1)."%";

Oh thank you I will try that whenever I get a chance. I thought it was an entry within a database.
Now when in case of an update, all those small changes will be overwritten?

that worked thank you! the path was just little bit different:

/components/com_invoices/views/invoice/tmpl

yes exactly sorry, I typed too fast!

The rounding worked great. Now one little issue I'm facing is that the created taxes are not applying.
For instance, I have created two different tax zones.
http://prntscr.com/dzlpim

When I select either one of them, the percentage no longer automatically fills.
http://prntscr.com/dzlpdi

curious what could have caused that.
Thank you!

because you're not setting the tax value....

the value you enter on tax manager is just the DEFAULT value.

in each invoice you have to specify what specific value they will have. in this case 9,5.

for new invoices it will fill it up for you automatically. try it.

Oh I see that makes sense. I was wondering how it filled in the first time. It was due to creation of a new invoice.
Thank you for clarification!

It looks like in the new version the code has changed, thus rounds decimal points. Could you please point me on how I could prevent rounding taxes?
Thanks!

switch($tax->type){

			case "percent":



				if($tax->ordering == 1){ //first group of taxes

					if($tax->calculate_on == 1) $tax_value = ( $tax->value / 100 ) * $subtotal_items_less_discount ;

					else $tax_value = ( $tax->value / 100 ) * $subtotal ;

				}

				else if($tax->ordering == 2){ //second group of taxes

					if($tax->calculate_on == 1) $tax_value = ( $tax->value / 100 ) * $subtotal1_items ;

					else $tax_value = ( $tax->value / 100 ) * $subtotal1 ;

				}

				$print_tax_value = InvoicesHelper::format($tax->value,  InvoicesHelper:ercentCurrency($currency));

			break;

			case "static":

				$tax_value = $tax->value ;

				$print_tax_value = InvoicesHelper::format($tax->value, $currency);

			break;

		}

Can't edit post, here's a better sniping

sorry, I don't understand the question.. where is that you want to round the taxes?

The problem I’m facing is that all of the tax fields using integer rather than double. All taxes (e.g. 8.5%) get rounded to the nearest number (9%).
Sorry don’t know about php much. At least in database it doesn’t appear that you use int.
Thanks!

I sent you creds among other details.
Thanks!

Hello,

I have the same problem as NWdecorativePainting:
I am faced with the fact that all tax fields use a whole number rather than double. All taxes (eg 5.5%) are rounded to the nearest number (6%).
Also, I have no parameters in the control panel: it lacks "decimal point symbol", "Thousands separation symbol".

Thanking you in advance,

Kévin

Dear all,
I've the same problem with hikashop since I had an update to version 4.7.5. of Hikashop business. How can I solve the rounding differences. Screenshots attached.Anita
