+1. Is there a workaround to be able to sell at least in France only, until this feature is released?

It seems that european users of magento will have to wait or look for workarounds :D There should be an easy way :D

We are working on making adjustments to the tax based on the EU requirements.

I will keep everyone posted when this is going to be released.

Thanks

Hello Yoav, a month ago you tell us that you are working on this problem; I know your team has a lot of work but did you manage to solve it?

Thanks

@nicolas46 - We are working on improvements to the tax module. The new tax module should be made available with Magento 1.1 that is scheduled to be released end of June.

Thanks

yoav

Thanks.

In this way, could you tell me if product prices would be stored in database included taxes or not ?

Great! But it’s going to include the VAT number field too? Or (better) a way to add some custom fields to users account?

@chatlumo : I hope price will not be stored in database with tax, it’s definitively a wrong way to store prices.

It depends. For delivered orders it would be good to store the price with the tax value. Otherwise the history of orders could become wrong, if our beloved governments decided to change the taxes.

VAT-ID is absolutely a must! It would be good also, if there could be an automatic check, if VAT-ID is valid. The official manual check place is http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do?selectedLanguage=EN , but i saw also some scripts somewhere…

@MasterEmit

Otherwise the history of orders could become wrong, if our beloved governments decided to change the taxes.

So in this way, it would be the same if you change price.

The orders are stored with the prices and the tax applied at the moment the order is place and won’t change even if the products proprieties are modified (tax, price, ...) after this.

Hello yoav,

Great news !

But, can you describe us the new tax module before publish Magento 1.1 to check it together ?

Somes comments to set on your studies :

- display price in the front browse (VAT included and optionnal VAT excluded for each product)

- modifications in invoice (1 column for price VAT excluded, 1 column for VAT, 1 column for price VAT included, the total VAT excluded in the invoice summary, the total VAT in the invoice summary, the total VAT included in the invoice summary)

- VAT apply on shippment tax (maybe deal on like a normal product in the invoice)

- discount apply on VAT included ?

- ... to be completed (european users, any suggestions ?)

Theses updates are very importants for european users.

Thanks.
