GST for Freight on Invoice

[j0anne04]

I have received an email from my clients accountant and was wondering if you can advise. I am using the invoice from the forums but from my knowledge i cant control what GST shows through this?

"What is showing on the tax invoices is the GST for the products only. The GST on the freight is not being added to the GST component on the invoice. The total amount charged and paid is correct but people are going to think they are not being charged GST on the freight the way the invoice is being recorded eg if we have an invoice for $330 and an additional $22 for the freight the GST on the tax invoice will only record as the $30 for the products not $32 for product and freight."

Help appreciated.

Still having this same issue - how do you make ezimerchant calculate the total on invoices to INCLUDE GST collected in freight?? currently it only counts the GST from the actually sale of goods.

yes I have the same issue, not sure how to fix it though, even though you mark gst to be charged on freight

hi sharon,

yeah it's a rather big issue too so i'm suprised more people haven't commented. it's fine for a small hobby style business, but when it comes to accounts it puts everything out!

where abouts in the program does it ask "to include gst on frieght"? perhaps i should check that as i have just installed on new PC and maybe it isn't selected on the new pc - althought i haven't uploaded anything since i changed over so that shouldn't have changed anything.... perhaps.

can't seem to find the option to tick though, so your help on that is appreciated!

The only place I can see where it is mentioned is under tax settings, it asks how much tax to charge on freight. I don't know where else there is an option.

ezimerchant's 'Order Report' printout shows a misleading amount of GST. The order report was never originally designed to be shown to customers and the amount of GST shown is not an accurate representation of the total amount of GST.

We are aware of the issue and will try to rectify asap.

Thanks David for spending so much time on my problem regarding not being able to download orders.
In regard to this gst on freight, have you been able to find a solutiion to this?
Does this mean, at the moment that the gst is not getting added to the freight cost, or the gst is included in the freight but not shown. eg say I have a sub total of $2390.78 plus freight of $150.00 the total amount of the gst shown is $217.35?

Hi

This issue does not effect what the customer see's when ordering, it is only a display issue in the 'Download Orders' section of ezimerchant (and the resulting order report printout)

Rather than showing the TOTAL amount of GST for the entire order it is showing only the GST for the SubTotal.

The screen shot below shows the problem...

This problem will be rectified in a future version - however we currently do not have an ETA for this fix.

Hi david,

that is what I had tried to get across previously -it's great to see it has been figured out. Reason it is an issue is that my customer uses the order report as their documentation for tax purposes... otherwise, it wouldn't be an issue!

Is it something as simple as adjusting the existing calculation to work off the total rather than the subtotal? it sounds easy enough - but obviously you know better. lol
