Thank you so much. Much easier to follow than the woocommerce tutorial about tax setting. I have a question: When I put item incl tax for 100€ and I sell it to Germany it would be 100€-19%, to Spain 100€-21%, Canary Island 100€-15% right? So can I set up 80€ regular price and add tax depending on shipping address AND hide it same as show price inclusive tax? I mean, depends on where the customer is the total price shows differently?
Hi there, yes that would be possible if I'm correct! Just try it out if the system does what you have in mind 😀 Don't forget to create different rows per country.
Hi there! You are very welcome! I’m glad I could help you out with this video. Well done! Yeah I never use Jetpack plugin… Stay tuned, more awesome tutorials coming up! Have a great day and take care 😀👍🏻
Hi Percy! You are very welcome! It made my day to read your comment! Thank you for taking some time out of you day to write me. Your like and subscribe would be very helpful if you haven’t already done so. Social share of the video would also be highly appreciated!
Thanks voor de video! Vraagje, volgens mij moet voor verzending naar niet-EU landen 0% btw worden gerekend, dus dit heb ik in die tax settings gezet. Maar hierdoor betalen mensen uit de US maar 10,33 voor mijn product, terwijl Nederlanders 12,50 betalen (omdat zij wel 21% btw moeten betalen). Hoe kan ik zorgen dat beide mensen 12,50 betalen?
Hi Willemijn, dank voor je vraag! Ik denk niet dat dat kan met de normale WooCommerce installatie. Ik denk dat je hiervoor een plug-in nodig hebt zoals: woocommerce.com/document/price-by-country/
Thanks for the wonderful video. I am building my webshop in Sweden, and until seeing your video, I had my tax settings "Enabled automated taxes", and prices excluding tax. I am planning to sell stones and crystals to private customers in Sweden, Scandinavia, EU and worldwide. Also just like you, I will have different products like stones, books, and even food with different tax rates. And in my TAX settings in Wordpress, it says "Your tax rates and settings will be automatically configured for Sweden." What kind of settings do you suggest for my tax settings? I would appreciate it :)
Hi there! Thanks for the comment! Well as it is in Europe I would go with manual tax. Then start with Sweden and then fill all the classes in - for books, food, stones, crystals. I think Sweden has 3 taxes just like the Netherlands? Then every single product should get in the right tax class. Then gradually add more countries and check the tax rates per country. I guess that is the best way?
Hello Mat, so for example,- if i am selling from the NL to another EU counties and some in Asia, do i have to add all the countries in manually in the woocommerce - under tax - standard tax rates. Like you added NL in the video, do i add other countries there manually to where i ship my products?
Hi there! Thanks for your question. Well that depends. When you sell to other EU countries then yes, I would charge 21%. BTW. For abroad, I don’t know for sure, ask your accountant to be sure!
Hi Tom, thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it! I’m glad I could help you out. Have a great day and if you have special request for a video, let me know 👍🏻😀
Hi DM! Well that depends. If you have a LOT of tax rules and states / cities countries, than it can save you a lot of work. If your like me in the Netherlands you only have 3 rules for the entire country. So it depends 👍🏻😀
Thank you for your video. Quick question? How do you set up tax rate for all states in USA in general? do i have to list every state with their own tax rate or, can I set up a general tax rate across the board? thank you in advance.
Hi there! You are very welcome! If you want to do this, the most easiest Way is to import a csv with all the taxes in there. This might do the trick, I have not tried it out myself, but it looks promising and free: artsterminal.com/web/tax-rates-for-woocommerce-csv-free-download/

Hi there, well you can using a different approach. I havent tried it but in theory its possible you could use the compound tax feature to add an additional tax under a specific state for example... let me know if that could work.
Ik snap de taxen niet bij shipping. Stel dat ik 6.40 aan Bpost betaal voor een pakje te verzenden, Moet ik de klant daar boven op nog is extra 21% laten betalen om van Belgie in het binnenland te verzenden?
Goedenavond! Dank voor je vraag. Die twee zaken moet je los zien. Je ‘verkoopt’ als het ware bij jouw product verzendkosten. Die verzendkosten zijn een belastbaar product waar je hier in Nederland 21% over moet afdragen bij je kwartaal aangifte. Dat jij het inkoopt voor €6,40 is daarbij niet relevant. PostNL bijvoorbeeld is vrijgesteld van belasting, dus alles wat je koopt rechtstreeks bij hen kun je niet terugkrijgen van de belastingdienst. Raar, maar waar. Dus je moet voor jezelf afvragen “wat is een redelijke prijs die de klant betaald voor de verzendkosten” dat zou dus maximaal €6,95 zijn in mijn mening. De klant betaald dan dus € 5,74 exclusief BTW (dat voer je in bij WooCommerce) waarmee de klant dus uiteindelijk die €6,95 betaald aan jou. Is dat een antwoord op je vraag?
PLEASE HELP; It would be greatly appreciated. I am not a web developer. I am just creating my 1 e store& praying the only thing I need to do once done is update all my plug-ins, add/remove items for sale, and change some visual aspects via my webbuilder once I am bored of the design. Why make/use a 2nd list for taxes (ex. Reduce)? Can't you just have taxes data under the same standard list? What is does the priority column do exactly? Should we keep every entry as 1? What happens when you put 2 or 3? How would the tax be displayed if you don't write anything under the name of the Tax column?
Hi there! Thanks for the questions. Let me try to answer them: 1) The lists are created for as your country charges different kind of taxes. So 21% for products and 10% for state tax or something like that. 2) it makes sure that first the important taxes are done, so you could prioritize them 😀 3) that’s a good question. Just try! Remove the name and then put it back in again 😄
I have a question that is a bit extensive, if I open a store that is available worldwide, it means without restrictions from which country you buy. How do I set the tax on such a store website? It's impossible to set every tax in the world, I think that's crazy. What I read in the comments is that in that case it is only necessary to link the tax to the country of origin of the store, if I'm not mistaken? But in that case, it is not clear to us that there is an option, let's say I put an example on several countries, for example US, UK and NL, the exact taxes, and then we have the option to put the taxes on all other countries, for example, at 22%, in that case we are making a mistake, because taxes are not the same everywhere, somewhere they are less than 22%, and somewhere they may be higher than 22%. What happens in that case? Or if it happens in case the tax is wrong, what are the consequences? :D
Hi there and thanks for your question. To be absolutely sure we need to talk to a tax-professional in your country. Because if I sell from my country to inside the EU or outside the EU, there are different rules. Your accountant should advise you about this as the rules vary per country you live in. Sorry 😃
@@WPressDoctor That's actually what I wanted to hear. So I need to have a conversation with someone from tax affairs or with the client I work for. Thank you for your feedback. You have a follow-up from me with the bell on. :D
Yeah it’s the best way to make sure your doing everything legally. Take the government serious with taxes, it can get you in serious problems if you don’t 😀
Hi Wendell! Thank you for your kind words. I always send it to them via email after payment using the “PDF Invoices and Packing Slips” free plugin. To download them they have to login I suppose… it can be done, I have unfortunately no experience in how to do it. Check around for a plugin or ask the developers of the packing slips plugin?
Hi Benjie! Your customers don’t pay taxes because it’s oversea. But if you are in the US selling to another State, yes you should use the tax rates of the states. Check with your accountant how to deal with it 😀
@@WPressDoctor Thank you so much, I also have another question. When adding shipping zones, do I have to add each different country and each different state in the country, or do I apply the same logic as the tax rates?
Nice video! But I've looked everywhere even considered doing automated taxes because I can't figure this out. How do I enter or set up taxes manually for NY,USA? There are 3 tiers of taxes. Sales in state of NY but outside city only 4% State sales tax imposed. Sales in NY state WITHIN the city boroughs it's 4% state tax PLUS 4.5% City tax PLUS 0.375 MCTD Tax...For total of 8.875% At the minimum I must somehow enter totals as 4% for state, and 8.875% for city. How? And how to I apply city tax rate just to our 5 boroughs that make up nyc? 🤔 Confused.
Well that’s indeed a bit confusing. Maybe this can help: woocommerce.com/posts/woocommerce-sales-tax-for-the-us-how-to-enable-automated-calculations-and-filing/ and you could also just send them a email 👍🏻😀 If I make a part 2 of this video I will explain this thourougly 👍🏻😀
Thanks a lot for the info but I have a doubt. How can I do to sell with tax included for normal customers and sell without tax to companies outside of my country?
Hi Juan! This might do the trick; create two tax rates (new rows) One Standard for the rest of the world, and one for your own country. Problem solved?

Hi Ashley! Yes there is a way for logged in users. Then you would need a plugin called just like that - wholesale prices. I had it once on a website and worked like a charm. Getting everybody a login could be a hassle though.
Excellent Video! Thank you for sharing. I could not figure out FOR THE LIFE of me why my taxes weren't being added at checkout. It's because I put a +1 for country code, for USA... Should be US. Instead of giving me an error, it simply didn't add tax rate. Thank you!

Aw man, you saved me! I had UK for country code, and on checkout addresses, UK is also stated, but the country code is actually supposed to be GB! Great Britain. When I entered that it worked. Even though GB and UK are 2 different things. Cheers mate.

FYI: In the US, states are made up of counties (or other names such as Parrish). These are further made up of cities. Within a state, you could have different sales taxes among the various counties in that state AND then you may have additional sales tax adjustments by cities. Crazy, but that's the way it is.
Hi there! Thank you very much for explaining this, it is such a mystery for me as a guy from the Netherlands (Europe)! Indeed it’s tax upon tax, way more sophisticated then our country (just 2 rates which apply to certain products, no matter where you are in the country!) thanks again and have a great day!
@@WPressDoctor it's crazy here. In some towns, where it's oppressed areas like New BRunswick NJ, it's 3.5 percent to encourage people to shop there. Also, no tax on clothing or food here and many services.
@@WPressDoctor On top of what @gts6889 said, in some states of those states with 3 tax rates. Oklahoma for example; a state tax, a county tax and a city tax, and you pay all 3. Now stack on top of that the fact that a city can be in more than 1 county and you have a real mess. In Oklahoma for example taxes need to be calculated by address to make sure that you are charging the proper county tax because the city could be in 1 of 2 or 3 different counties. It's a nightmare.
Thanks for the video. I followed the tutorial and here is the issue I have. Price for online product is 100 USD. Someone from Europe, wants to buy the product with tax rate 10 %. What end users sees in the cart is NOT "100 USD incl 10 USD VAT". But strangely a user sees something like this "89 USD incl 8 USD VAT". How is that possible?
Hi Manuel, it sounds like you should change the settings to “show prices including VAT” or make sure to check the setting “add prices with or without VAT”. If your not sure, just try to change it 😀
@@WPressDoctor I am sharing with you the settings I made in the backend prnt.sc/w3k68gKtgnpo and here is what an end user sees in cart prnt.sc/WMnrLfBGzrsn . The total price of the GOLD package is 500 EUR. Thus, I don't understand the calculation logic of Woo Commerce which is showed in the cart. Do you have any idea on how to solve this?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. That’s a good question. I have never looked for that. You could try diving in the WooCommerce reports and see if it’s in there?
Hi Chardy, You are very welcome! Thank you for writing a comment. Really appreciate that! It all depends on what does the plugin need to do to fit your needs. Make a list of things iT NEED to have a a few things that are NICE to have.

Hi, Even though i am your "medelander"😊 from NL, i will write in English. When i sell outside EU, the vat is 0% (exporting outside EU). As you, my products in Netherlands are displayed on website and cart incl. 21% vat. When i add a country without tax, and tax based on billing address, it displays the vat on checkout page as 0% but the total payment is not reduced with the 21% for customers in Netherlands. It still displays the full amount incl. 21% vat. When i do for other EU countries it is calculated okay with the total amount the same but the vat from the EU country and the subtotal reduced with the calculated vat. How to set for exporting countries, for example AE (United Arabic Emirates) where i should calculate 0% vat?
Hi there! Thank you for your question! Uhm it’s hard for me to say without actually seeing it work, can you send me your website to the@wpressdoctor.com? I can then take a look and maybe give you a call about what I think is the best solution here.
Hi can you help me with a question, what id the store is pulling products from printful printify for example, how to deal with these taxes, what should be there, can you please give me a hint about this?
@@WPressDoctor If the POD sends the invoice, I don't need to worry about taxes in my products and website? I'm super confused about this, can you give a hint?
Yeah if they send the invoice straight to the customer, you have nothing to do with tax. If they send the invoice to you, you need to tax the products sold to the customer 👍🏻😀 Although I think I’m right, you should ask a local tax advisor about your business and taxes 💡
hi, how I can apply multi taxes on the same product, for example if there is 2 taxes on one product like Sales Tax and product Tax, if the sales tax is fix I simply can merge it at the product tax, but if the sales tax are varying based on the Zip code so it will be impossible, any advice? and is there any ways to apply taxes for category in place of product?
Hi Tariq, thanks for the question. This is something I did not explain very well in the video, sorry for that. It’s possible to add taxes per zip code or city, just go to the rows where you set taxes and change zip codes there. I think that should work. 😀
Hi there, great tutorial. I'm from Canada and for instance in the province of British Columbia, we have 2 separate taxes: 7% PST (Provincial Sales Tax) and 5% GST (Goods and Services Tax which goes to the federal government) and these taxes must be charged seperate and itemized in the checkout. Do you know how this can be done to charge 2 different taxes to a province?
Hi there! Thank you for writing this message. Yes that should be possible! Just create more rows per province and make sure to use the right settings for the tax to be stacked or not 👍🏻
Thanks for your video but how Do you know what tax charge should be? For example I Not register Vat so still I need charge vat or is different tax I from 🇬🇧
Hi Daivaras, well that depends on your country. In my country you may earn money and you don’t have to pay the VAT taxes until you reach a certain amount (€20.000 for example). So you have to dig in and do research about that, I don’t know the rules of England 😀
@@WPressDoctor I understand that just I wondered until I reach limit of vat do I need charge some taxes or leave woocomerce tax empty until I reach vat limit?Thank you
Always count in the tax and after a month you wire it to another bank account. Then If you don’t have to pay it, you can keep it, but when you have to pay it, you got it in a separate account 😀
Hey, can you make a video on taxes related to digital products like eBooks, and courses on WordPress? Is it compulsory to charge taxes on digital products
Hi there! Yes that’s a good idea, I’ll add it to my list! The tax rules differ from country to country, so just do a little research for your country 😀

Hi Cyril and thank you for your question! I will create a video about that pretty soon, its a bit more harder than i initially thought 😊I need a tax expert to explain to me how this works.
Stop being apathetic. 21% is outrageous. I can guarantee they could supply the same services for 1%. Taxes are a con and people who buy into the gaslighting of the 'roads', 'hospitals' as the excuse for high taxes deserve what they get.
Hi there and thanks for your comment! When traveling the world, cities with high taxes and no corruption really are better looking out for their citizens in my opinion like West Europe. I now live in Portugal where there is some corruption and 20+% taxes... its very different. But hey, I don't run cities so who am I to argue 😁 Have a great day and stay safe!
Hi there! Thanks for the question. If you want to the VAT breakdown, you need to change a setting in WooCommerce which will say something like “show calculation in cart and checkout”. It’s somewhere there, I also always have to look for it 😎
