Hi all,
I just installed OpenCart 1.5.1 and added some products.
The problem comes when I have to set the price. But when I set the price to (for e.g.) 199,99 and use Tax Class 19% the price in the store will show:
Price: 168,16€
Excl. Tax: 141,31€
Now he just deducts the tax from the original price..
How can I set the price in the store to 199,99 (inc tax) ?

I'm running 1.5.1 / 1.5.1.1 but have no issues.
You are sure you did not mis-configure?

Check your store settings in the admin under "System->Settings". Under the "Option" tab, do you have "Display Prices With Tax" set to "Yes" or "No"?

Could it be that I used a selfmade geozone?

Actually, i think you will find that 199,99 minus 19% tax is actually 168,xx (or there abouts) so i am wondering perhaps you are making a mistake inputing the correct price.
If you want the product to show a total price of 199,99 then you should use the price EXcluding tax.
Product price = 166,06
Shop price will then ADD the tax, and it will be 199,99 in store.
Plus i have a pretty big feeling, that your tax class is set up to "-19%" when it should be +19%.
If you take, the total price to be 168.16 and minus 19% tax ( 168.16 / 1.19) it is 141.31.
So you also need to check that your tax class is ADDing tax, not subtracting it.

Yea, I also noticed that.
But I don't understand why it subtracts instead while it's supposed to add.
The Tax Rate is set to 19.0000
So what would cause the subtraction?

I had something just like that. I entered a price of 100 and then it show something like 83.60 for the price and 66.00 for ex.VAT.
My solution was to go to the admin setting and look for Localisation->Currencies. The demo has dollars or pounds (don't remember which one) as the default. I changed it to Euro, BUT you must also Value to 1. Then the price you enter in the product admin will be the ex.VAT price and it works again.
By the way: if you are like me and just want to enter the price with VAT in the price admin, then you can change Value for your currency to a lower number -> 1 / VAT. So in your case you want 19% (like me, because I am Dutch) you must enter 0.84033602 as the Value. Now you can just enter the consumer price in the product screen. I have not tested if this will influence the invoice or the dashboard amounts.
