Hello,
has anyone figured out how to correctly handle UK VAT using HTML API? There's absolutely no info on this subject it seems.
HELP!
I asked the same question last week in this forum but posts (and even the forum itself!) seems to come and go at the moment so I cannot give you a link to someone who replied to my post but here is what you need in the HTML:
<input type="hidden" name="checkout-flow-support.merchant-checkout- flow-support.tax-tables.default-tax-table.tax-rules.default-tax- rule-1.rate" value="0.175"/> <input type="hidden" name="checkout-flow-support.merchant-checkout- flow-support.tax-tables.default-tax-table.tax-rules.default-tax- rule-1.tax-area.postal-area.country-code" value="GB"/>
Yes, believe it or not this appears to currently be the only way to handle the one and only tax system in the UK using the HTML API - isn't localization wonderful...
If you want VAT to be applied to the shipping you need extra stuff (see my other surving post here). I believe this info is all from the XML API docs and someone posted a URL that takes XML and converts it into the corresponding HTML API form elements.
