Tax

Hey @benelers

I understand you want to charge your tax based on location.

To achieve this, on your tax tab (WooCommerce-> Settings-> * Taxes) Select ‘Yes’ in the section ‘Prices entered with tax’ and then select ‘Customer billing address’ in the ‘Calculate Tax Based On’ section. Remember to set the tax options for those in EU and those that are not. Here is a comprehensive article on how to set your taxes https://woocommerce.com/document/setting-up-taxes-in-woocommerce/

Hope this helps!

@benelers Just a heads up – that’s not how tax is calculated.

In your example it’s not €100 minus €20 tax!

It’s €83.33 plus 20% (€16.67) = €100

Yup. thanks. just poorly expressed on my part!

Daniel – thanks. But not exactly. I had read the document before opening the thread, but it did not really address the issue.

Basically – I was trying to find out if it is possible that you have a setting whereby ALL customers (regardless of location) pay the same amount. But in cases where I need to charge VAT (in the EU) then I basically receive less. Two scenarios:

In the case of a customer in the EU:

Their bill shows that they pay €100 (€80 + €20 vat). I receive €80.

In the case of a customer outside the EU.

Their bill shows that they pay €100 (€100 + €0 vat). I receive €100.

In other words, I effectively take the VAT hit for them.

Thanks

Hi @benelers,

What you’re looking for is covered in the Wiki here – https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/How-Taxes-Work-in-WooCommerce#prices-including-tax—experimental-behavior

Hi Luminus – this is great. Thanks. This is exactly the issue/ scenario. It says that I should add code: add_filter( ‘woocommerce_adjust_non_base_location_prices’, ‘__return_false’ );

Where do I add this code to?

Thx.

Hello @benelers!

Thanks for the follow-up!

Where do I add this code to?

You have two options to incorporate this custom code:

• To a custom child theme’s functions.php file.
• Using a plugin such as Code Snippets.

Let us know if you run into any issues.

Thanks. I have:

1. Entered the following code using Code Snippets:

add_filter( ‘woocommerce_adjust_non_base_location_prices’, ‘__return_false’ );

2. In woocommerce/ Settings/ Tax checked “Yes.I will enter prices inclusive of tax”.

However, it still shows the initial price. And then, if the person selects a country where they do not need to pay tax, then their Total gets reduced by the amount of the tax they would have had to pay.

Hi @benelers

Can you please check if your shop is set to display prices including tax under WooCommerce > Settings > Tax > Tax options?
