Expresso Store: Display price including tax from channel:entries tag

Question

First Store project underway for a UK store charging VAT.

I'm (probably) going to enter prices ex-VAT into the database as they do ship internationally, but I generally want to display them inc-VAT throughout the site. The only place I'm likely to split things out is in the checkout.

Is there a "best practice" for this? I've got my VAT setup and UK is the default country, but I can't figure out how to add tax to the price displayed using a {store_field:price} tag.

Quite happy to get my hands dirty with add-ons/extensions etc, but not if I don't have to.

thanks

Had the same issue so wrote a Tax plugin, I've just uploaded it but still needs instructions adding.

Template Tags - either as tag pairs or single tags:

• {exp:tax:only} - display only the tax
• {exp:tax:price} - display the price with tax
• {exp:tax:none} - display the non-taxed price

If using as single tags, use the value or price parameter to set the numerical price value. Value passed can already be inclusive or exclusive of tax - default is that tax is already included in price.

Example:

1. {exp:tax:only value="10" rate="20" currency="£" show_currency="yes"}
2. {exp:tax:only rate="20" currency="£" show_currency="yes"}10{/exp:tax:only}

Will both output: £2.00

Parameters:

• included (is the tax already included in the passed price value)
• value or price (the number/string to use - for single tags only)
• rate (rate of tax, any non numerical characters will be stripped)
• show_currency (show the currency symbol on output - defaults to no)
• currency (what currency symbol to use - can also take any character passed as a value or within the tag pair)
• position (where the currency symbol should appear, options are "before" and "after" - defaults to before)
• decimals (show decimal points - defaults to yes)
• thousands (show the thousands character - defaults to yes, character can only be defined through config settings)
• rounding (how the calculations should be rounded, options are "up", "down", "nearest")

All the above defaults can be defined in the EE config file:

• tax_rate
• tax_included
• tax_currency
• tax_position
• tax_decimals
• tax_thousands
• tax_show_currency
• tax_rounding
• tax_decimal_places
• tax_thousand_symbol
• tax_decimal_symbol

Decimal places, decimal character and thousand character can only be set via config variables.
