Taxes

The sub-item taxes gives you an overview of your current stored tax rates, these can accessed through Settings > shop > tax.
In this oveview you can manage existing tax rates and create new tax rates (1).

If you have defined a tax rate as the Default (2) for your company, a green tick is displayed in this overview. The context menu (3) on the right hand of the table gives you the option to edit or deleting existing tax rates.

In the customer groups, it is possible to configure for each group individually whether the prices are to be displayed and calculated in gross or net.

Creating a new tax rate

If you click on the button to create a new tax rate, a new window will open, showing you the configuration you can make for your new tax rate.

Here you can name it individually (1) and assign it a percentage value (2). If you activate Use as default (3), this tax rate will be used as the default. This means that it is automatically entered when you create a new product, for example. Mark the tax rate that occurs most frequently in your company as the default.

Edit an existing tax rate

The editing screen for existing taxes is structured similarly to the new creation screen.
Here you can change previously made configurations.
be careful, these are existing tax rates and could have effects on your live operation.

Since you are accessing an existing tax rate, which may be used or still is use on your live system., the calculations of invoices, etc. that have this tax rate assigned may show different calculation.

Other tax rules for individual countries

Within the respective tax rates you will find the area countries.

In this section you have the possibility to create your own tax rules for individual countries and, if available, their federal states. Just click on Add country to add a tax rule for a country to the current tax rate.

Here you first specify for which country the tax rule applies and what it refers to. You have the possibility to create your own tax rules for individual zip codes, zip code areas, individual states or for an entire country. f you enter a date in Active from, the processed tax rate is applied from this date.

Please note: If you add a date to Active from, the tax applies from there for the calculation in the storefront based on existing master data. Prices in the product are not recalculated based on a changed tax rate.
