Setting up taxes (VAT)

Turn on taxes and add the rates that apply to your business.

  1. Go to WooCommerce → Settings → General and tick Enable tax rates and calculations.
  2. Open the Tax tab and choose whether the prices you enter include tax or not, and how prices are shown in the shop and cart.
  3. Open Standard rates and add a row for each country with its rate and a name (for example "VAT").
  4. Save, and check the totals on a test order.

Tax rules depend on your country and your business. Confirm the correct rates, and whether you must register, with your accountant before you start selling.
