VAT issue in 6.5.4

[desktop-solutions]

I recently upgraded six sites to 6.5.4. Those customers are reporting an issue with VAT doubling to 40%.

Is there a fix for this?

Looking at the affected sites the vat calcs just don't make sense

This looks to still be an issue - Prices are entered in the backend exclusive of VAT

(£5.00 ex vat = £6.00 inc vat - which would make VAT £1.00 (for the product) plus the shipping vat of 0.74p - total vat £1.74)

Are you on 6.5.5?

@abrookbanks - Yes updated last week

Ok I think I've found the issue - looks to be related to "shipping" side of things - removing VAT from Shipping fixes it.

[outrank-james]

Coming back to this - so when disabling VAT for shipping checkbox - the price of vat for the product is calculated correctly.

The website is using "By Weight" shipping module - which has a price Inclusive of VAT - so it would need to remove the VAT from the shipping price

Thanks for the info.

Please find fix above. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

I've tested the code tweaks and can confirm that's resolved the issue.
