GST, Financial Type for Extra Fee

[mcollopy]

Thanks for this extension, I have tested it and while the total works, it applied to the total inclusive of GST, without however showing that GST was also included in the Extra Fee.
Can GST be configured, and displayed on invoicing?
Also can Extra Fee be defined as a separate Financial Type?
Thanks

Hi Mick - can you flesh this GST question out a bit further perhaps with some examples. EG

• if the product costs $10 then GST of 15% should apply
• the fee is then calculated on this total of $11.50 so if the fee is 10% it would be $1.15

Are you saying that you then need to apply GST of 15% to that $1.15 in order to add a further $0.115

Or are you saying that you are saying the fee is 11.5% (ie 10% plus a further 15% on that) and that the text needs to be clearly declaring that

Or something else?

Hi Pete - Stripe does in fact charge GST on the processing fee.
See screenshot example shows that $400 includes 10% GST of $36.36
However the processing fee of 1.5% shows $6.00
I can't see from this that the processing fee contains 10% GST of $0.5454545455

Note I discovered your module on this ticket after another user did the same
twomice/com.joineryhq.percentagepricesetfield#27 (comment)
See how the 'added percentage' extension does itemise the additional amount, but the GST is not looking right there

Hope that helps - what do you think?

i am now a bit unclear = are you trying to get us to add this new feature here as well as getting twomice to work on his approach? We won't be offering to add this to our extension for free so we can do an estimate and get back to you with that, but no point doing so if you are also going down the other route.

Hey Pete - just trying to assess options based on understanding of what it does - no matter, I've done a live transaction so now I can see the records in the database.

Thanks, you have clarified by 'new feature' that the extra fee was not specifically designed for my client's use case. Now I can see the transactions, seems like it may be a lot of work, but sure if it's on the roadmap and you think it's viable, I'd be happy to put an estimate to them for these:

• separate record in the financial item table/s
• apply GST to the extra fee
• extra fee configurable by financial type
• display on invoice

Hope that clarifies.
