Checkout Shipping tax calculation problem

So I needed to set up a shipping charge for a specific class on my website. ( Kern Scales, €20 )

that worked fine. The problem I have is that rather than the VAT/TAX on shipping being added to the Tax total of the product, it is being added to the product total & not being accounted for properly. I have been searching for the right hook to use, to update the tax with the VAT on the shipping charge, but I cannot seem to figure it out. I think my problem is in how i set the original shipping rate for this class. I just overwrite the ‘free-shipping’ label to Kern Scales with the new shipping charge.

if there is a hook that i can use to go in to the section where i set the shipping charge to 20, please let me know. All i want to do, is add the VAT/TAX to the actual tax total of the complete order.

If anyone has any ideas pls let me know, thanks

This is my code that i have in functions.php

<?php

// Set a special shipping cost for Kern-scales shipping class and display a message
add_filter('woocommerce_package_rates', 'set_kern_shipping_rate', 10, 2);
function set_kern_shipping_rate( $rates, $package ){
    if ( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) )
        return $rates;

    // Kern shipping class slug
    $shipping_class_slug = 'kern-scales';

    $found = false;

    // Loop through cart items and checking for kern-scales shipping class
    foreach( $package['contents'] as $cart_item ) {
        if( $cart_item['data']->get_shipping_class() == $shipping_class_slug )
            $found = true;
    }

    // Set shipping costs to 20 euro if shipping class is found
    if( $found ){
        foreach ( $rates as $rate_key => $rate ){
            $has_taxes = false;
            // Targetting "flat rate" and local pickup, & free shipping
            if( 'flat_rate' === $rate->method_id || 'local_pickup' === $rate->method_id || 'free_shipping' === $rate->method_id ){
                // Set the cost to 20
                
                $rates[$rate_key]->cost = 20;

                $has_taxes = true;
                $taxes = $rates[$rate_key]->cost = 20 * 1.23;
                $rates[$rate_key]->taxes = $taxes;

               
            }
        }
        // Clear duplicated notices
        wc_clear_notices(); 
        // notice to be displayed on checkout page
/*wc_add_notice( __('<H2>*THERE IS A CHARGE OF €20 FOR SHIPPING FOR ALL KERN SCALES.</H2>', 'woocommerce'), 'notice' ); */
}
    return $rates;
}

            $found = true;
    }

    }
