setting up taxes is one of the more
important tasks to do as you are getting
your store ready for the world most
businesses have legal obligations to pay
taxes and woocommerce has many options
to help you set up and collect taxes as
required in your legal jurisdiction be
sure to research and ask what is
required in your country State Etc let's
get started head to woocommerce settings
and then tax if you don't have a tax tab
then jump over to the general Tab and
enable taxes back in the tax tab we
begin on the tax option submenu first up
prices entered with tax option is a very
important option for how you manage
taxes in your store it determines how
you will input product prices later when
creating products first you can choose
yes I will enter prices inclusive of tax
meaning all your products already
include taxes in their price the other
option no I will enter prices exclusive
of tax would mean that your product
prices are set excluding taxes your
taxes are then calculated in addition to
your product prices next is the
calculate tax based on setting you can
choose between customer shipping address
customer billing address and Shop Base
address just note that the address field
needs to be filled in to get the taxes
to calculate if you have different taxes
between different locations for most
stores shipping tax class based on cart
items can be left as is this means tax
classes and their costs are based on the
items in the cart for example if a
product was set as a reduced rate
product your reduced rate taxes would
apply if this is not the case in your
tax jurisdiction please choose a
different tax class appropriately if
your tax laws require rounding this done
last when the sub total is calculated
enable the rounding option otherwise
they will be round per line next up is
additional tax classes these are
additional classes you can use outside
of the default standard rates in most
cases you will want to use a standard
rates class if however you sell Goods
which require a different tax class you
can add those classes here to get you
started we add reduced rate and zero
rate tax classes for you you'll notice
that at the top under the tax tab each
class you have is listed selecting a
class will take you into its tax rates
show you the current rates and let you
set up new ones for that class the next
setting display prices in the shop
determines how prices are displayed in
your store excluding the cart and
checkout Pages choose from including tax
or excluding tax the display prices
during carton checkout is just like the
display prices in the shop giving you a
separate control to show our high tax
price prices on the cart and checkout
Pages next you can add a price display
suffix that shows after your product
prices this could be for example
including sales tax to help explain your
pricing finally you can choose to
display the tax totals as a single total
or as itemized a single total will show
one tax charge where itemized will show
each applicable tax rate with that we've
covered the basics of the tax settings
we have examples and further reading in
our documentation be sure to check that
