Taxes on Taxes on SAMBA

Hello Team

Is it possible to have a tax for a tax ?

For example, the VAT is the default tax which has 5% percentage.

But I would like to apply another tax of 6% on Vat

How to achieve this in SAMBA ?

If it is not product based you can configure it as a service calculation and apply it after tax being calculated.

Is it possible to give the setting ?

I have tried with one below but it is not calculating

Normally if you have multiple taxes I would assume they wouldn’t be a “tax of a tax”, i.e. a % of the tax again. Are you sure you are understanding the tax calculations correctly? Which country are you based in?

Based out of India

They have a cess tax of 3% on VAT which is 5%

You must make a calculation selector. If you want it automatically applied then leave header empty

I understand the calculation selector

My question is what Calculatiok type method I have to use to calculate the value from the taxes ?

Your literally calculating a tax from the tax? That seems strange. You would need to manually do that with expressions and math.

Something like Ticket Total Changed --> Update Ticket Calculation Calculation (CESS) with [=F(TN('{TAX AMOUNT:VAT}') / 100 * 5)]
The calculation would need to be excluded from the VAT obviously else you would get an infinite loop where one increases the other and so on.

Where to add this ?

It should be in the Rules ?

Hello Emre

Could you please guide me here ?

It’s been two weeks so lost track of exactly what you were doing but if remember right it would be tax exclusive calculation which is set in a ticket total changed rule.
The action would be to update the calculation with fox amount and the amount would be generated by the expression.
You would need to use [:Amount] as a dynamic field in the action so you can use the expression in the rules instance of the action as it uses tags.

The above expression is not working in Rules for the action

How a screenshot of the action and the rule with the action expanded.
Also show screen shot of the tax and calculation types.

This does not help anyone understand what the problem is… you need to explain what you have setup and show screen shots if you expect help as we cannot see what your doing.
