Possibility to have different tax region settings in different countries. Also products will be given a tax category instead of a VAT-percentage. This enables taxing different percetages for same products when sold to different countries.
HOW TO USE?
A new feature for users is the VAT Settings in Products->Settigns area. This allows you to apply particular VAT depending on customers region (a country or area) and products category (like books, food, etc.).
To use this feature, do these 5 steps.
-
Create the VAT regions (Products -> Settings -> VAT settings). If your business is based in Finland, you could use for example Finland, EU-country, non-EU. You can add regions later on if needed.
-
Add VAT categories for all products types (Products -> Settings -> VAT settings). For example in Finland the default VAT is 22% but there are differenet percentages for books and food.
-
Select right VAT percentages to all categories/regions. For example if a DVD is sold from Finland to Finland the percentage is 22. But if the same DVD is sold to USA the precentage is 0.
-
Go to products management and select right categories to each product. If you do not select a category for a product, default setting is used.
-
Go to Customers -> settings -> questions and there to the "country" question. Select right country codes to each VAT region.
This way the right VAT is shown in order confirmation page.
When browsing the shop, the webshop does not know where the cusomer is from. Because of this it usually is good idea to show prices both with and without VAT. Or if your customers come mainly from a single VAT region, use only that price. Let customers know in your "Customer support" page how VAT is managed in your shop.
