Once the Walmart order is imported to M2E Pro, the corresponding Magento Order can be created based on the configured Account Settings

The way tax is calculated for the Magento Order depends on the selected Tax Source and Magento Tax Settings.

See the examples below to find out the logic of tax calculation with different settings in Magento and M2E Pro.

Example 1. Tax Source is set to None

If the Tax source is set to None both Walmart and Magento Tax settings will be ignored. As shown in the screenshot, the Magento Order will contain no tax amount.

Example 2. Tax Source is set to Walmart

When you select Walmart as a Tax Source, the tax in Magento Order will be calculated according to Walmart tax settings.

Note

Via the M2E Pro Selling Policy, you can specify a VAT rate value that will be added to the price when a Product is listed on Walmart. An item price will be increased by the specified VAT Rate value.

Still, no actual VAT rate will be submitted to Walmart.

  • Tax is included in the

    item final price

    item final price

Let's see how the calculation works when you apply 20% tax to the Walmart item with no change to its final price.

This way the Magento Product of $100 will be listed on Walmart at the same price. It already contains a 20% tax amount. 

When the Walmart order with a 20% tax is imported to M2E Pro, the Magento Order with the 20% tax amount will be created.

Tip

Sometimes the order currency can differ from the Magento base one. In this case, Magento converts the order price to the base currency and calculates tax. Then both price and tax are converted back into the order currency. You can find them in brackets in the Order Totals.

You can configure the currency settings under Magento System > Configuration > General > Currency Setup > Currency Options.

  • Tax is excluded from the

    item final price

    item final price

Now let’s find out how tax is calculated when 20% tax is excluded from the Walmart item final price.

In this case, the Magento Product of $100 will be listed on Walmart with a price of $120. 

Both Walmart and Magento orders will have a 20% tax amount.

Example 3. Tax Source is set to Magento

If you set Magento as a Tax Source, any tax value returned from Walmart will be ignored. Magento will use Tax Rules for tax calculation.

Note

If there is no appropriate Tax Rule set under Sales > Tax > Manage Tax Rules, the Magento Order will be created with the 0% tax.

Let’s configure the Tax Rule for Not Logged-in Customer Group, Taxable Goods Product Tax Class, and +20% for Florida Tax Zone/Rate.Image Removed

...

It means that the 20% tax will be applied to the Magento Order with items related to Taxable Goods purchased by the Not Logged-in customer from Florida.

Tip

The proper tax amount will be applied to the Magento Order only in case the order details match all conditions provided in the Tax Rule.

The way tax is displayed in the Magento Order depends on your Calculation Settings. Configure them under System > Configuration > Sales > Tax.

  • If the Catalog Prices are set to Excluding Tax, the tax amount will be added on top of the Magento Product price.

...

So, based on the Tax Rule above, the the Magento Product of $100 will be listed on Walmart at an equal price.

The imported Walmart order will contain no tax. The Magento Order will include 20% of the tax amount.
