This is great!
In fact helped correct a problem i had with price rounding errors due to the fact that I had the setting "Catalog prices include tax" set to 'no' instead of 'yes' as you have advised above. All good now.
I do have a question though. You advise using the setting "Tax Based on = Billing Address". I spoke with the ATO on the phone a few months back and they advised me that GST is due on a product if its intended use or the intended users reside in Australia, hence products shipped out of Australia are exempt of GST. Therefore unless I am mistaken the Tax calculation should be based on the Shipping Address.
An exampe could be an Australian here who wants to send a gift to an overseas friend, so the product is free of GST even though the billing address is in Australia because the shipping address is not.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me, if I got the wrong interpretation from the ATO.
Thanks Chris,
