[TYPO3-commerce] Different tax rates based on country

[Georg Schönweger]

Hi Bart,

we are calculating the delivery and payment costs based on the user
selected country. In order to do this we are showing in the basket only
the net price, and only in the last step (listing) we are showing the
gross price. There the prices gets changed based on the user selected
country. I think you could do the something similar for tax rates. We
are using the Hook "preSwitch" in pi3/class.tx_..._pi3.php which gets
executed before the calculation of gross price is made. In your hook
method you can set something like:

function preSwitch($currentStep,$lThis) {
    if($currentStep == "listing" || $currentStep == "finish" ||
$currentStep == "payment") {
        // code will be executed only in last step..
        $curCountry = $lThis->MYSESSION["delivery"]["country"] ?
$lThis->MYSESSION["delivery"]["country"] :
$lThis->MYSESSION["billing"]["country"];
        $basketObj = $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->tx_commerce_basket;
        ....
       
$basketObj->changePrices($articleUid,$newPriceGross,$newPriceNet); //
just as an example..

        $basketObj->store_data(); // store in DB, maybe you don't need
this..
        $basketObj->recalculate_sums();
    }
}

you can see it in action: http://www.snillo.it

By the way i would like to say thanks for this great commerce extension!
Because of the flexibility of commerce we can sell personalized products
(t-shirts, gadgets ecc.), dynamic categories / dynamic products only by
using hooks.

regards,
Georg
