How to show inc. and exc. vat

[Zippydiver]

Please explain how I can show VAT on my prices of products with both inclusive and exclusive VAT. Something like this £149.95 (£127.62 ex VAT) ANyones assistance here is always gratefully received. I know this should be easy !! :rolleyes:

its in design settings/options , tick both the boxes and it will show both.

Talking of which, in version 7 when a price is displayed of the form
£2.40Inclusive of VAT at 17.5% there is no space between the 0 and I of "Inclusive" (as shown here). I haven't checked if it's something I have done, but anyone else seen this and where can the space be addeed?

Go to 'Design | Text' and search for 'Including'. You can enter a space just in front of where it says 'Including %s'.

Im a little confused. I have version 7.0 Looked at business settings for VAT and dont have 2 boxes to tick??? Tried various permutations with the boxes nil works?? Exactly which boxes should I be ticking??? :(

[g11ary]

sorry sent you mail
its in design/options/misc

[Zippydiver]

Unfortunately that didn't work.

Went to design:Options:Miscellaneous.
Now have both boxes ticked for Vat Inclusive and Exclusive prices.
Couldn't wee it on local PC or after upload of site.
Not sure what to try next??

[g11ary]

ticked both and def worked for me with nothing else to do?
Have you got the display prices box above ticked and the £ sign?

It could be there has been a change to your Actinic settings which is preventing this from appearing. Please check the following:

1) Go to 'Business Settings | Tax' and ensure your store is charging tax. :)

2) Open Act_ProductPrice.html from within your 'Site1' folder. Ensure it includes NETQUOTEVAR:TAXMESSAGE.

3) Go to 'Design | Text' and clich 'Go to'. Go to Phase: -1, ID: 67 and ensure it says ' (Excluding: %s)'.

4) Then go to Phase: -1, ID: 219 and ensure it says ' (Including: %s)'.

If none of these work, then register an email support question at http://www.actinic.co.uk/support/register.htm

Thank you Chris. That has put everything correct with inc. and exc. Vat.

The problem now is it looks untidy all bunched together. see as an example. http://www.divemachine.co.uk/acatalog/General_Books.html

I would like to split it so that the text showing inclusive price and Incl. text was in a different colour 'say red' and on a line below in smaller font size.

Thankyou to everyone for such brilliant help.

Sorry you need to go to a page that has vat items. Books page doesnt show any.

Hope this helps explain.

Zippy,
This is what I am seeing as my previous post, there is no space After the inclusive of VAT price.

Add

 

just before NETQUOTEVAR:TAXMESSAGE in Act_ProductPrice.html.

[Zippydiver]

Thanks Chris.
That worked fine.
Please advise on how to change the Including tax price to a different colour. I need the excluding price still in black.

[cdicken]

Add <font> tags around 'Including %s' where it appears in 'Design | Text'. See my earlier thread for details on this.

[Zippydiver]

I have input the following tag in Design text for the tax inclusive.
<font="6699cc">Inc: %s</font>
This unfortunately didnt change the colour. It appears to have done nothing. Have I typed it correctly.
Sorry to be such a pain, I cannot find anywhere in the Actinic guides that assists with these problems.

[cdicken]

OK Try adding the <font> tags around NETQUOTEVAR:TAXMESSAGE in Act_ProductPrice. e.g.

<font color="red">NETQUOTEVAR:TAXMESSAGE</font>

[Zippydiver]

Excellent and thank you all for the assistance, all running as required.

...or to change the colour you could add your own style (.incvat) to actinic.css...
