Applying the correct tax on delivery charges can be challenging, especially when a sales order contains products with different tax rates. Manually selecting the appropriate tax for shipping lines increases the risk of errors, incorrect invoices, and tax compliance issues.
The Smart Delivery Tax Calculator by TheERPBot automates this process by intelligently applying the highest tax rate from the products in a Sales Order to the delivery charge. Whenever products or taxes change, the delivery line is automatically updated—ensuring accurate taxation without any manual intervention.
Whether you're managing local sales, eCommerce orders, or B2B transactions, this module helps ensure that your delivery charges always follow your business's tax rules.

Why Automate Delivery Line Taxes?
In many tax jurisdictions, shipping or delivery charges must follow the tax treatment of the products being sold. When an order contains multiple products with different tax rates, manually determining the correct tax for delivery can be time-consuming and prone to mistakes.
Common challenges include:
- Incorrect tax applied to delivery charges
- Manual updates whenever products are added or removed
- Tax inconsistencies across invoices
- Increased accounting errors
- Additional effort for sales teams
- Compliance risks due to incorrect tax calculation
The Smart Delivery Tax Calculator removes these challenges by automatically keeping delivery taxes synchronized with the Sales Order.
Key Features
Automatically Apply the Highest Product Tax to Delivery Charges
The module analyzes all taxable product lines in the Sales Order and automatically applies the highest tax rate to the delivery line.
This eliminates manual tax selection and ensures delivery charges are always taxed correctly.
Automatic Tax Re-Evaluation
Whenever a Sales Order changes, the delivery tax is recalculated automatically.
The delivery line updates instantly when you:
- Add Products
- Remove Products
- Change Product Taxes
- Modify Product Details
- Update Discounts or Prices affecting tax configuration
No additional user action is required.
Supports Mixed Tax Rates
Many businesses sell products with different tax percentages within the same order.
The module intelligently identifies the highest applicable tax among all non-delivery product lines and applies it to the shipping charge, ensuring consistent tax treatment across the order.
Works Seamlessly with Odoo Sales & Delivery
The module integrates directly into Odoo's standard Sales workflow.
There is no need to change your existing process. Continue creating quotations and Sales Orders as usual while the delivery tax is handled automatically in the background.
No Configuration Required
Simply install the module and start using it.
The delivery tax calculation works automatically without requiring complex setup or manual configuration.
Handles Tax Changes Instantly
If a product's tax is changed after adding it to the Sales Order, the delivery line immediately reflects the updated highest tax.
This ensures your invoices remain accurate throughout the sales process.
Clears Delivery Tax When Appropriate
If none of the products in the Sales Order have taxes applied, the module automatically removes taxes from the delivery line as well.
This prevents unnecessary tax application and maintains accurate invoicing.

- Eliminate manual tax selection
