Taxes

Depending on your business needs TAU Commerce supports multiple options for managing product prices. You may define your store country in Settings -> General. Underneath that you will find an option that will allow you to define how you enter product prices. With or without tax. If you choose to insert product prices without tax, product prices will be displayed without tax and small notification will be displayed underneath each product price and tax will be calculated on a checkout. If you choose to enter product price with tax, tax will be calculated based on Tax rules defined for that country. You also have the option to calculate tax based on Billing country or Shop country. If you choose an option to calculate tax based on billing country tax will be recalculated on checkout. If you choose to have tax applied based on shop country tax on a checkout will not be affected.

Your store can have multiple tax groups. You can imagine tax groups being different types of products. A good example would be regular products and food products. Food is usually taxed differently than the rest. In our example we would create two tax groups: “General” and “Food”.

After that we would create tax rules for each country. Each country may have different taxes when it comes to one group. For example: Finland could have a tax rate of 14% for food while Serbia may have a tax rate of 20%.
