Happy April Fool…, is your e-commerce ready for GST setting? Opencart is very simple to do that.
Prerequisites:
1. Geo Zones already setup Malaysia Address.
1. Login to Your Admin Account.
2. System -> Localisation ->Taxes -> Tax Rates
3. System -> Localisation ->Taxes -> Tax Class
The Tax Class is base on the Shipping Address. So it will only calculate if the Geo Zones requirement had matched.
4. Add GST ID No. In your Store Address field.
This is easy way to add your GST ID No. in your e-commerce, which is under your address. So each of your invoice will be added the GST ID No.
5. Display Price with Tax (Optional) System -> Settings-> Option (Tab), Scroll until TAXES Section
6. Add Tax Class to the Product that affected GST
7. Shipping Cost with Tax Rate (In this case I am using Flat Rate)
8. Confirm Order Summary:
9. Change the INVOICE to TAX INVOICE
When you access to admin, you can view the order and generate an invoice for the particular order.
How you fix to TAX INVOICE? This one required a bit technical knowledge.
Go to opencart_folderadminlanguageenglishsaleorder.php
Look for
$_[‘text_invoice’] = ‘Invoice’;
Replace to
$_[‘text_invoice’] = ‘Tax Invoice’;
This is after edit the word to Tax Invoice.
That’s all, just that simple in order for your eCommerce to meet GST requirement. Thank you for reading.

Mine is not working any idea ?i follow yours step by step.mine show out the price woth gst in the menu but when the customer add it to cart it just show the price without the gst .
The price won’t be display as GST after they add to cart, because the calculation is base on shipping area, so the GST only show after they had key in their shipping address. In the post, I had show there is an option to display the price with Tax, you can select that.
My approach is in the page beside the price, I put a big red word “The Display Price is excluded 6% GST” 😀

When you go into the product detail page, you can search for Tax Class:, you set it as GST. Then the problem will be inclusive of GST.
First of All, thanks for the detailed info.
May i Please know that for inclusive gst, will it show in invoice as inclusive as well. Or please guide how to deal with inclusive. If i change the tax class for product, its still showing exclusive and add on 6% in invoice.
Hi Khurram,
The price displayed will be included GST, but it is a bit tricky during CHECKOUT when display the price.
