Proportional Shipping TaxesPurchase on OpenCartX.com

Current Version: v303.1 (release notes)

OpenCart Versions: 1.5.0.x - 3.0.3.x

This modification will change all shipping taxes to be calculated based on proportional percentages of the total of each tax class in the cart. This is needed by some European countries for their tax system on shipping. For example, if the cart contained $100 of items with a 20% tax rate + $50 of items with a 10% tax rate, the tax on the shipping would be calculated as 2/3 of the shipping cost at a 20% rate + 1/3 of the shipping cost at a 10% rate. If the shipping cost in this example was $30, that would result in 20% tax on $20 (so $4) + 10% tax on $10 (so $1), for a total shipping tax of $5.
