Adding sales tax on order total AFTER other fees applied?

OK so I'm trying to set-up our next season-our first with having to apply sales tax.

To further complicate the issue-our state wants sales tax applied to the order total AFTER any other handling fees are applied.

Does anyone have experience with this or can think of a way to make this work?  I've tried every which way I can think and no luck.

 

Thanks for any help!

  • I guess the first question is – are you on V12 or not? If you are on V12, I would have your fees be price layers and have the tax be a fee. For V11, I would make the sales tax be a user defined fee that is added after the tickets are added to the order. For web purchases, you may have to have some custom code work that is put into the REST layer to calculate the tax after the patron puts the seats into their cart. I don’t know if that will work or not but that’s where my Monday brain is in the thought process. J

  • Thanks so much for the suggestions!

    What we ended up doing is actually creating 3 separate fees-all applied at the order level:

    1. Sales Tax

    2. Handling Fee

    3. Handling fee tax

    Since the Handling fee and subsequent tax on it are static, we are getting the same totals as if we were to apply the sales tax on an order total including the handling fee.

    This worked out to be the best option for us as it related to our web coding and business practices but I can certainly see where the others options you mentioned would be beneficial as well.

    Just wanted to share how we ended up working around this issue in case other folks faced the same dilemma-thanks again!
