Do you want to show the tax in a separate field, or just show the total without tax in one field and with in another?

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, I want to show the net value in one box, then below that the value of the tax, then below that the total including VAT. I can show you a snip of the area in discussion, can I add an image to this discussion?

In that case use this code for the VAT field:

Total * 0.15

And then as the last field do a sum of Total and VAT (or the code provided above, either one will work).

Yes you can. What is the computation on paper?

Thanks for your reply. This is an order form and set for user to check their requirements and type in cost of each item required. The form is set to automatically calculating the total in a net value section. There is another area in the form where the net value appears with a section to add on the VAT showing the total including VAT.

Hi, thank you, our VAT is 20%, I have set the calculation to add the net value, plus VAT to the Final Total. I have entered Total*1.20 in the (Simple Field Notation)

The amount of VAT needs to show in a separate box, the amount will be variable as there is potential for differing total values depending on the users selections.


We seem to be one step behind each other... See my previous reply.
