Question 19. Composite with different tax rates of components
In order to create a smart composite product whose component sub-products having different tax rates, your composite CANNOT use the “Only base price” method as this will only regard the tax rate of the main composite, not the components.
If you’re using the Include base price method, the base price you enter in the General tab will apply the tax class chosen under that:
If you’re using the Exclude base price method, the tax class in the General tab will be ignored. The total will be calculated based on the post-tax prices of component sub-products only.
For example, a sample composite using the Include base price method and components whose having different tax rates.
