| | Posted: | | | | It would be great to add a price plus tax amount. In other words, enter a default tax amount(8.625% where I live), then you just have to add the price of the DVD and the total is calculated for you.
eg. You enter Casino Royale @ $15.99 and hit calculate and the total would be $17.37 (15.99x1.08625).
For those who are anal about entering the right cost be DVD, this helps to not have to do it by hand for large buys.
Thanks. | | | | Last edited: by bobsolo |

| | Posted: | | | | In Europe tax is included in the price by law and most people don't split it out. But as someone who imports dvd and has to pay duty and other fees I'd like more options than just plan price.
Shipping cost, discount, duty (or tax), handling fees etc. | | |

| | Posted: | | | | Automatic Tax calculation? You have a receipt. Invelos would have to code in the tax rates for wherever. Yikes, do you work for the Congress?

Thanks. What if you don't pay tax on all titles? I for one pay tax on the ones I buy locally (obviously)... but anything I order off the net (about 90% of my titles) I don't have to pay tax on. Or if I buy used dvds froim a friend there is no tax there either. So unless there is a way to say add tax to this one but not that one it would say I paid more then I actually did on most my titles. EDIT: I missed where you said hit a calculate button... so this is covered... nevermind!  | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

Invelos would have to code in the tax rates for wherever. Why would Invelos have to code the tax amount for every location? The user could enter the % (0% for Addicted2DVD, 8.625% for me). If you buy a DVD online, then you don't add the tax. I happen to buy a lot more DVDs locally and often several at once. Usually the receipt only lists total tax. I prefer to enter the price of eachDVD inclusive of tax and find it a pain in the ass to figure out how much of the total tax goes to each disc. This would make things easier. The same thing goes for shipping when I buy online. I break up the shipping cost to each DVD, and if this could be automatically, it saves the hassle of getting out a calculator. If someone doesn't want to use the feature, they don't have to use it. That's the joy of optional features! |

Actually 5% for me for the ones I buy at walmart and such... and just not click the calculate button for ones I buy online and used from friends and such... am I understanding you right? As for shipping... I usually opt for free shipping... but every once in a great while will pay for a quicker shipment.  | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | You got it Addicted2DVD.
Call me anal and lazy, but insist on making sure I enter the exact price I pay for each DVD (cost + tax + shipping when applicable) and I think it's a pain to have to calculate each DVDs exact total everytime. This way I could add the DVD price, then the tax % and let it calculate the total.
For shipping, you could add each of the DVDs individually as you do now, entering just the base price $15.99, $19.99 etc, then enter the tax % (if applicable), enter the shipping total (if applicable), and even a coupon total (if applicable), then let profiler calculate the tax/DVD, shipping/DVD and discount/DVD and come up with each DVDs total. That's essentially what I do by calculator, whenever I buy DVDs now. |

| | Posted: | | | | I just checked and the program already seems to calculate Oregon taxes perfectly.  If I pay $10, then the total, with no sales tax in Oregon, comes to $10. And that's what's being displayed. Pehaps a work-around would just be to move to Oregon.  | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
