Warning Incl / Excl tax miss match

Hi there!

I can understand your concern. Please note that by default, there is no option to hide that error message. In the Tax settings, if you select the option “Yes, I will enter prices inclusive of tax”, you will need to set the following options to “Display prices during cart and checkout” and “Display prices in the shop” as inclusive of tax.

By default, there is no option to remove that error message. To do so, you would need customization or a third-party plugin.

You can try using the following plugin: EU VAT Number for WooCommerce.

If that does not work, I can recommend?WooExperts?and?Codeable.io?as options for getting professional help. Alternatively, you can also ask your development questions in the??WooCommerce Community Slack?as custom code falls outside our usual?scope of support.

I have the plugin installed you refer to. I do not really see how that would fix this? The ALARM is a bug in woo core. I am simply highlighting, wwhy is it there. Just explain the issue and let people set their woo as required for them and not as it is most convenient to woo.

Hi @hebhansen,

I understand how frustrating the warning about inconsistent tax settings can be, especially when it disrupts your workflow. However, the warning itself is not a bug, but rather a precaution to help ensure consistency in how taxes are applied across your store. WooCommerce is alerting you to a potential issue with rounding that could cause discrepancies between how prices are displayed and calculated.

Regarding your request to display prices as either inclusive or exclusive of VAT, it’s important that all vendors are using the same method for consistency, as you mentioned. If you’d prefer a more subtle way to address the rounding issue, I recommend submitting a feature request to our team here: Feature Request.

If you’d like to remove the warning for now, you can use the following code snippet. Please note that custom code is outside the scope of our support, so please use it at your own discretion:

add_action('admin_footer', function () {
    ?>
    <style>
        .woocommerce_tax_settings_conflict_error {
            display: none !important;
        }
    </style>
    <?php
});

For your suggestion to make the VAT settings clearer in the price and sale fields, it’s a great idea! I recommend submitting this as a feature request as well to help improve the user experience.

Let us know if you have any more questions!

Thx. That works and solved like so

// Houston, we have a problem
// Remove buggy announcement  where woo considers you an idiot if you enter price ex vat and display incl vat
add_action('admin_footer', function () {
    ?>
    <style>
        .woocommerce_tax_settings_conflict_error {
            display: none !important;
        }
    </style>
    <?php
});

I kindly ask woo to manage this differently or simply fix the calculation issue, that I still don’t really get. Please understand that new to woo will get spooked the Houston way. And that’s a problem for user with no other option, than to set on ex and the other incl. I would expect Woo to manage this to comply to ecommerce legislation everywhere.

Hi @hebhansen,

I’m glad to hear that the snippet shared by @mahfuzurwp helped you. Just to clarify, the notice isn’t a bug—it’s an alert designed to highlight inconsistencies in your tax settings. I understand your concern about how this might confuse newcomers, which is why there’s an option to submit a feature request here: https://woocommerce.com/feature-requests/woocommerce/.

Just to clarify. Entering ex and presenting incl is not an inconsistency, it’s the law.

Thx
