This module also fixes the base amount of tax in case of tax on children taxes. In following tax configuration, base amount for VAT 5% should be total amount after Excise 12% applied with children taxes.

Example:

  • Excise 12%
    • Education Cess 2%
    • Higher Education Cess 1%
  • VAT 5%

Calculation:

  • Excise 12%
    • Base: 100
    • Amount: 100 * (0.12) = 12
  • Education Cess 2%
    • Base: 12
    • Amount: 12 * (0.02) = 0.24
  • Higher Education Cess 1%
    • Base: 12
    • Amount: 12 * (0.01) = 0.12
  • VAT 5%
    • Base: 100 + 12 + 0.24 + 0.12 = 112.36
    • Amount: 112.36 * (0.05) = 5.62
