Subtract tax from a price with tax in OpenCart?-CodePudding

How do I subtract all taxes from a price with tax in OpenCart?

In the example below I use the default "Taxable goods" tax setting from OpenCart, which is 20% VAT $2,00 Eco-Tax.

$number = 20.80

// Get $number tax:
$tax = $this->tax->getTax( $number , $product_info['tax_class_id'] , $this->config->get('config_tax') );

// Subtract tax from total price:
$result = $this->currency->format( ( $number - $tax ) , $this->session->data['currency'] );

This returns an incorrect value of $14,64 because it calculates the tax on $number (20,80), which already is a price with tax. The correct price for $20,80 without tax should be $15,67

This should be the formula in this case: (20.80 - 2.00) / 120 * 100 = 15.6667

Is there any way to subtract all taxes from a price that already has tax included?

$taxRate = 20;

$gross = 150;
$divisor = (100   $taxRate) / 100;
$net = round( $gross / $divisor, 2);
$tax = round( $gross - $net, 2 );

Echo "Gross was $gross - Net is $net Tax is $tax";

RESULT with 20% tax

Gross was 150 - Net is 133.33 Tax is 16.67

RESULT with 15% tax

Gross was 150 - Net is 130.43 Tax is 19.57

Try a few dry runs and then check with this code

if your tax for example is 21% and you have product with tax=120.. Without tax will be: 120/1.21. so if Tax rate:

$tax_rate = 21;

product price:

$price = 120;

Price without tax:

$price_without_tax = $price/($tax_rate/100  1);
