Taxes System Settings
Taxes
The Taxes tab allows you to apply a tax to products either bought from customers within a specific
zone (tax is applied to billing address) or shipped to specific destination zones (tax is applied to
shipping address).
For example VAT currently at 20% is applied to purchases when the customer lives in the European
Union (EU).
In the case of VAT which applies to billing address rather than shipping address, the tax will
automatically be added to a purchase made by a customer residing in the zone you specified for the
tax. In our example that would apply to purchases made from our UK zone and Europe zone.
Note: You must have already created one or more zones before adding a tax.
To add a tax:
1. Click the Taxes tab directly under the top banner menu.
2. Type in a name for the tax and ensure the check box below the tax name is enabled if you
want to apply the tax to all products. If you would like some of your products to be exempt
of tax, for example, if it is already included in their price, click to disable the check box.
When you add a product you will then have the option of adding tax to that individual
product.
3. Choose from the drop-down list whether to apply the tax to the product total or to include
shipping in the taxable costs.
4. Click the check box to include the tax in the displayed product price.
5. Choose from the drop-down list whether to apply the tax to the billing address of the
customer or the destination of the shipped products.
By default Ecwid has created a non-taxable ‘Other zones’ category.
6. Click the New Rate button to create a taxable zone.
7. In the drop-down list below the Zone heading, choose one of the zones you added using the
Zone tab.
8. In the next box type in the tax’s percentage rate.
9. Add as many new rates as you need to apply the tax to all the required zones.
10. Click Save.
