We are trying to get the system to display subscriptions info including Taxes.
We are in Australia and therefore need a 10% Tax on everything.
Currently it shows this:
As you can see the Product Price is correctly calculated showing tax but the subscription details are not - they show the ex tax figures. I have looked through the code and the recrurring figures are being generated from the "CalculateRecurringCharge" member of the SubscriptionPlan Class.
Does anyone know of a way to show tax inc figures here?

Re: Subscription Pricing and Taxes
I've reviewed this issue and I think there is a simple (and appropriate) solution in the setup of the product. When you configure the subscription, specify that it has initial charge of 9.05 with a recurring charge. For the recurring charge amount, specify 9.95. The reason this is appropriate is because when processing the recurring charge, AbleCommerce does not add in taxes. If the recurring amount must include tax, then you must specify it with the recurring charge configuration.
AbleCommerce does not issue the recurring charge, it is actually your payment gateway handling this aspect. This is why you must tell it the total charge (tax included) for the recurring amount. But for the initial charge, you should leave tax out of the price as we will add tax into the product purchase (for taxable products).

Re: Subscription Pricing and Taxes
Logan,
We are having this same problem, but I see one problem with this solution. Taxes are dependant on shipping location. Therefore I setup the recurring charge including taxes then everyone is going to have to pay the taxes. Seems like when able commerce generates that recurring billing amount it needs to factor in wether or not taxes are needed, just like it does when it submits a regular payment to the credit card processor.

Re: Subscription Pricing and Taxes
Eldon, you are of course correct. Thank you for pointing out the flaw in my logic. I have reopened the bug on this issue for processing.
