Minimum Taxable Order

[jeffreymcateer]

Hi,

I'm wondering if others would find a 'minimum taxable order' field added to the 'tax per bill'  type of 'tax and calculation-rule' to be a useful feature. The idea is that, especially with e-commerce, some governments will only apply duties to orders that exceed a certain value. In my case, the Japanese government only taxes online-orders that exceed ¥16000.

thanks for all the hard work

The easiest way is to use the quantity plugin http://extensions.virtuemart.net/products/quantity-related-price-calculation-detail

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. However, an order might contain several different types of products that get taxed together. It also seems like the product-price increasing with bigger purchases would be counter-intuitive for the costumer.
My limited understanding of PHP makes it seem like a fairly simple issue to resolve with an If-loop...but I can't even find the proper place in the code to hack into : (
thanks

There is absolutly no need to hack. Use the quantity plugin and learn to work with the rules. You can even have different tax rates and discounts on it and all is correctly calculated. and it is not just a loop. lol.
Years of work is in that.
