CT Sales tax on clothing over $50

Post by crazyjoe » Wed Jul 21, 2010 8:18 am

I need to charge tax in Connecticut but only on Clothing over $50. I have all my clothing set with the tax code "clothing" but I have no way to make it figure out what products are $50 or more. Does anyone have any code or anything I can add to make my cart acknowledge what products are "clothing" and over $50?

I am using 7.0.4. Shipping I have set as a different tax code so I can tax that appropriately. It's the clothing over $50 that I can not specify.

I don't think that there is any easy way around this using taxes. Right now taxation components don't allow this ability and more over tax related core tax handling is in back end code so there is no simple change to implement this. You can look into following workaround it doesn't makes use of taxes. Read following thread about how to add a custom charge through code viewtopic.php?f=42&t=13934
You can do something similar in your case where when ever some one adds a clothing product with price more then certain amount you can calculate and add custom charge to basket.

Thanks Mazhar! Unfortunately this is beyond my level expertise. Is these someone you can recommend that I could pay to make this customization for me?

One workaround would be to set the tax code of all clothing under 50 to one thing ("clothing") and all clothing over 50 to something else ('clothing50").

For your CT sales tax, only apply it to clothing 50. For any other taxes that need to be charged on all clothing, apply the tax to both codes.

This only works if the tax is not based on cumulative value. I'm not sure about this tax so maybe that approach isn't helpful.
