Add applicable taxes

Hey @Gabriel Clerk. Welcome to the Typeform Community! 

Is it a fixed tax? How would be the calculation to add it? I'm asking because, depending on the setup, you can use the calculation feature to add the tax to the price of your product. :) 

Once we have more details, we'll be able to help further! 

@Gabriel Clerk @Mariana 

I have done something similar for an order form by creating a variable called “gst” (am Canadian) and to calculate the tax it took several steps to get the tax issue:

• use a subtotal variable to collect the values of what has been selected
• add the final subtotal to the gst variable
• multiply the gst variable by  .13 to calculate the tax
• add the subtotal and gst to price
• use recall on page to show subtotal, gst and final price 

cheers

Hey Mariana! 

Thanks for helping, Yes it is a fixed tax, I was able to find a way to add it buy using a Multiply price function but the thing is it’s not accurate enough. Here in Quebec our taxes are at 14.975%. I know I could round it up but I was wondering why Typeform doesnt have a built in tax system since they have the payment options for form.

Any way around using 15%?

@Gabriel Clerk - am in Ottawa here and it is always fun. 

at the moment the best i could come up with here is that you can multiply the price of an item by 14.97 or 14.98 as it goes only to 2 digits of accuracy in Typeform 

 

hopefully that limitation can be added to product update list @Mariana

That could work!

It seems like the best way to get around it!

Hope Typeform add a simpler option!

Thanks for your time!

How do I charged sales tax and shipping on my form? I see that Stripe has the sales tax calculator but how do i add that to my Typeform? Its great they added an Address section but whats they point if they don't have shipping cost to go with it? Was typeform not set up for E-commerce?

Hi @Righides247 I’ve added your post here where we have some ideas on adding the sales tax to your forms. 😀

@Mariana this is really not satisfying. I really use and love typeform a lot, but for a professional use it is important zu calculate with taxes. So it really should be possible to multiply with % or at least with 4 digits like: 1.2456

Hope you can fix that otherwise promoting and offering Stripe makes no sense unfortunately.

Thanks for the feedback, @Cäsar ! In the meantime, I definitely suggest using the workarounds above.
