Paypal Express tax calculation not coming back.

[jawadakr]

Hi Everyone

We are using "OSCOM CE Phoenix" and currently calculating taxes in the paypal side ( paypal express checkout method ).

Paypal calculates the tax properly and charge it according to customers address but somehow paypal is not returning the taxed amount or perhaps I would say oscommerce is not reflecting it in the system. We are only getting the product prices in the order completion area.

Any workaround for this ?

Thanks

I think I figured it out myself.

On this file path ext -> modules -> payment -> paypal -> express.php

It seems that a condition is coded incorrect or may be I am wrong and the dev put it with some reason but changing the value seems to fix my problem.

its from line 945

if ( DISPLAY_PRICE_WITH_TAX == 'false' ) {
          $item_params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT'] = $paypal_express->_app->formatCurrencyRaw($order->info['tax']);

          $paypal_item_total += $item_params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT'];
        }

change it to this code below.

if ( DISPLAY_PRICE_WITH_TAX == 'true' ) {
          $item_params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT'] = $paypal_express->_app->formatCurrencyRaw($order->info['tax']);

          $paypal_item_total += $item_params['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT'];
        }

That start sending tax information to paypal express and also start showing on order confirmation page as well.

Hopefully that will save some people few hours of code reading.
