Tax/GST Not recalculating after discount

[Polly]

Hello,

At checkout - have noticed the GST amount doesn't recalculate once you enter a discount code. Example . $33.00 = $3 gst. less $10 discount = $23 gst is showing as $3.00 but should be $2.09

I asked Alidropship support and have been told that "The GST amount is going to be 10% of the initial price. That's the way the system works."

I'm a little speechless and a little more annoyed that they find this an acceptable answer. I have gone back with a further reply to this effect however I am very interested to know

Does anyone else have this problem?
Or does GST/Tax recalculate correctly?
Or any solutions on how I could rectify this myself?


Thanks in advance any assistance would be grateful.

I don't see the issue here,

Also your customer when they gonna get the discount coupon they doesn't going to care about that either.

I may have posted this in the incorrect section so sorry if I have I don't know how to delete. Have reposted in Alidropship plugin original.

Thanks Chris for the prompt reply and your opinion that the customer won't care as long as they get the discount.

I agree the majority of customers probably won't however I would still like my website to be correct in displaying the correct pricing. It's illegal to display this component incorrectly, it also looks extremely unprofessional.

Any chance you know if there is a way to fix it or to give me some direction where to start?

Thanks

Hello Chris,

yes screen shot attached.

Thank you

You are right,

I can hide it for you,

But for correctly calculations is must be done from alidropship side.

Thanks Chris, no can't hide it I really need it fixed. I'll follow up with alidropship directly .

If I'm having this issue would everyone else not have this issue? with the dali theme which we use anyway?

If I'm having this issue would everyone else not have this issue?

Is not about the theme ,is about the alidropship original plugin

Hi Chris
sorry to follow up but any chance you had a look to see if your site re calculates taxes correctly after discount?

As I’ve had a further thought with the effects of this being wrong.

what gets reported. If the gst should be $2.09 after discount but doesn’t recalculate and $3.00
remains showing what is being reported in sales transaction report. Is it reporting I owe $3 gst and not $2.09 therefore I’m paying and reporting more tax then I should be? (I can’t run a report myself yet we are trying to go live but this query and the other one with the you pay price not registering with gateway and charging the price before discount is delaying us complete by a transaction).
Thanks
Polly

Hey there,

I totally understand your frustration. It's frustrating when the GST amount doesn't adjust after applying a discount code at checkout. It seems like a glitch in the system if it's consistently miscalculating.

As for Alidropship's response, it does sound a bit baffling. The GST amount should indeed adjust based on the final price after applying discounts.

To answer your questions:

1. Does anyone else have this problem? It would be helpful to hear from others who might have encountered similar issues with GST not recalculating after applying discounts.
2. Does GST/Tax recalculate correctly? Ideally, yes. GST should be recalculated based on the final discounted price, not the initial price.
3. Any solutions on how I could rectify this myself? If the platform doesn't offer a solution, you might need to explore workarounds like manually adjusting the GST amount or reaching out to a developer for custom coding.

I hope you find a resolution soon
