Tax, without guessing

The store applies the tax rules you set. It cannot tell you what those rules are — that depends on where your business is registered, what you sell and where you sell it.

Prices with tax, or without

Decide once, before you enter prices: are the prices you type including tax or excluding it? Changing this later does not reconvert what is already saved; it changes what the same number means.

For most shops selling to consumers, prices including tax is what the buyer expects to see. For a business selling to businesses, excluding is usual.

Rates

Set the rate that applies to what you sell. Some goods carry a reduced rate and some none at all; which ones is a legal question, not a setting.

Selling abroad

Selling across a border can change which tax applies, who collects it and what has to be on the invoice. Thresholds exist and they move.

Nobody here, and no assistant, can tell you whether you have crossed one. Ask an accountant in your country before you rely on a number.

What to check

• A test order shows the tax you expect, as a separate line where it should be.
• The total a customer sees at checkout is the total they are charged.
• The invoice carries the details your country asks for.

The store doing arithmetic correctly is not the same as the arithmetic being the right one for your business.
