Set Individual Tax Settings for a Product

Activate and configure individual tax settings

Based on your details under Billing address and the information your customers provide during checkout, Tentary automatically calculates the right VAT rate. See how taxes are calculated.

In addition to the standard VAT rate, there is a reduced rate that applies, for example, to eBooks. You can enable this directly in the product. You can find more information about this in the article Taxation of eBooks.

There are also exceptions to both the standard and reduced VAT rates. For example, because a product belongs to a specific category or a service is tied to a profession with different tax rules. In such cases, you can use the individual tax settings to adjust the tax rate.
