Major Description
In a VAT-Tax setup (i.e. sales-tax does not apply) and when using virtual- variant- products and the price is defined only on the virtual product and with "Tax in Price" set to "Y", its variants should inherit the set price without adding any further taxes.
This is currently not the case when in the e-commerce shop a variant product is added to the shopping cart. Currently sales-tax is added to the product price.
Here is a detailed procedure to reproduce the error:
In Party Manager:
- Create new Party Group with Name "SII_CHL"
(Leave all settings for group creation as per standard) - Assign Role "Tax Authority" to party "SII_CHL"
In Accounting Module / Tax Autorities:
- Create New Tax Authority with following settings:
Geo: CHL
Party: SII_CHL
Include Tax in Price: Y
Leave other setting as is - Under "Product Rates" create new tax with following settings:
Type: Value Added Tax
Tax Percentage: 19

Now the products should be visible in the E-Shop.
The Virtual Products Price appears at USD 14.16 If I Select the blue or the red T-Shirt Price is 11.9USD
Now I modify the Product Pricing on the Virtual Product.
On Default- and List- Prices add:
- Tax Percentage: 19
- Tax Authority Party (ID): 10000 (Or whatever ID corresponds to SII_CHL Party)
- Tax Auth Geo Id: CHL
Update
Back in the E-Shop on the product display now the correct prices appear.
I.E. 11.9 USD for the virtual product, the red, and the blue shirt.
Now I preselect the blue T-Shirt and add 1 to the shopping cart.
If I go to the cart now the price of the Blue T-Shirt is 14,16USD.
Now let's define a product price directly on the Red T-Shirt variant product:
Under Catalog Manager / Product select the product "T-Shirt Red".
Under the Prices Tab:
- Price Type: Default Price
- From Date: Now
- Price: 11.9
- Tax Percentage: 19
- Tax Authority Party (ID): 10000 (Or corresponding ID to SII_CHL)
- Tax Auth Geo ID: CHL
- Tax in Price: Y
Create - Price Type: List Price
- From Date: Now
- Price: 11.9
- Tax Percentage: 19
- Tax Authority Party (ID): 10000 (Or corresponding ID to SII_CHL)
- Tax Auth Geo ID: CHL
- Tax in Price: Y
Create
Back to the E-Shop
Select now the Red T-Shirt and add to shopping cart.
If you check the prices in the shopping cart the red T-Shirt would be sold at 11.9 USD and the blue T-Shirt at 14.16USD.
Only difference being that I have set up pricing directly on the Red T-Shirt, while the blue one gets its price from the virtual product T-Shirt.
If you do the Quick Check out with a Chilean "Ship To" address and get to the "Final Checkout Review", you can see that for the Red T-Shirt no sales Tax is applied while for the blue one there is a sales tax of USD 2.26
