Advanced Inclusive Tax Table Rates

Advanced Inclusive Tax table Rates system works well in the systems where Tax is involved with the products and we want to leverage shipping charges based on the Table Rates method of Magento. This extension works to rectify the default Magento's functionality in the case where products which are exclusive of tax need to have the shipping charges levied on them. In Magento's default functionality this scenario will be handled incorrectly as the shipping charge will be levied on the subtotal exclusive of tax. This scenario can lead to a disadvantage when you want to provide free shipping on orders having a certain subtotal. Since default, Magento does not consider the tax which actually should be considered while calculating shipping charges the orders which should be eligible for free shipping also get shipping charges applied to them.

When we are talking about the scenario where the application of tax and leveraging of shipping charges are involved together in a system, a very complex scenario comes into the picture. Magento does not handle efficiently the scenario where tax is involved. if the Shipping Method is Table Rates of Magento and the system is exclusive of tax, then Magento's default Table rates are working fine but when you introduce the tax in your system then table rates are still calculated based on subtotal i.e, exclusive of tax. So to rescue users from these default Magento's issue, with shipping charges calculation using table rates based on subtotal inclusive of tax, Advanced Inclusive Tax Table Rates can be used. This extension works fine with or without Magento's tax system.

Example

CSV imported into our system says that the order having a total of 200 or more will be having free shipping. In our system, which is inclusive of tax. Let suppose our total is $200.10 out of which $13.09 is tax and grand total exclusive of tax is $187.01.By default, Magento will consider the amount exclusive of tax and charge a delivery fee for this order which is obviously wrong. Advanced Inclusive Tax Table Rates extension corrects this scenario and counts the order of $200.10 to be eligible for free shipping.
