Tax & VAT

Collect tax with inclusive or exclusive pricing.

Setting Up Tax

  1. Go to Settings → Tax / VAT
  2. Enable Collect tax on orders
  3. Enter your tax rate (e.g. 20 for 20%)
  4. Set the Tax label — this is what customers see (e.g. VAT, GST, Sales Tax)
  5. Choose your pricing mode (see below)
  6. Click Save

Pricing Modes

  • Tax-inclusive (common in the UK and EU) — prices already include tax. A $10 product shows as "$10.00 inc. VAT" and the customer pays $10. The tax portion is calculated backwards from the total.
  • Tax-exclusive (common in the US and Canada) — tax is added on top at checkout. A $10 product shows as "$10.00 +Tax" and the customer pays $12 at a 20% rate.

Additional Options

  • VAT number — enter your VAT/tax registration number to display it on orders
  • Tax on shipping — choose whether shipping costs are taxable

Tax is stored per-order: Each order records the tax rate and mode at the time of purchase, so your records stay accurate even if you change your settings later.
