SpreeVatFix

Spree's VAT handling (out of the box) is lacking in the following ways

• only one rate is taken, others are ignored
• default tax rate is not used
• there is no option to include shipment in the tax calculation
• coupons (and consecutive tax reductions) are not handled
• rate matching is done by billing, not shipping address

This extension tries to fix at least several if not all of these problems

It does this by :

• providing a Calculator::VAT implementation and
• overriding tax adjustment creation in Order
• adding taxes to shipment if vat is not included in prices (ie :show_price_inc_vat == false)

Contribute!

This is a work in progress (for spree 0.3/4 ) and if you have any contributions, please mail or send diffs.

If you are willing to help more/longer I will add you to the project list.

Extras

This extension also adds an option to use running order numbers (as required in some countries). Set :running_order_numbers in Spree::Config

As an aside, I have added the description of the tax category as the Adjustments label. So these show up in the summary and printouts (spree-print-invoice ext.) So where it used to say Tax (or whatever, you must now set your descriptions and will possibly get several)

State

• several vat categories in an order WORKS
• vat applied to shipping by default tax WORKS (if :show_price_inc_vat == false)
• using default category WORKS
• running Order numbers WORK

All tested with :show_price_inc_vat => false so

• Preview box / Cart link / cart summary NOT done for show_price_inc_vat => true
• Coupons NOT done

NO TESTS - This is strictly "works for me" software, use at own risk and/or contribute tests
