When setting up WooCommerce you come across this one: Setup Tax. When you click on it, you can get the WooCommerce Tax plugin powered by Jetpack, or you can use Avalara which has 30 day free trial - no credit card needed. I'm not a big fan of Jetpack, it really slows your website down and I don't like the features they're all implemented on it. Now Avalara is a powerful system, but it actually asks you money. I'm gonna make a separate tutorial about this one. But there is also a way to set it up for free. Just go on to here: "Set up taxes manually" and then we are catapulted into in this page. But first we need to go to "Tax options" over here. So go one step back. You need to determine for yourself: do you want to enter your prices inclusive tax, or exclusive? I always say inclusive. Why? Well it actually is a bit of price psychology and also in marketing used, that you would charge for a single item. For example on this website that I created a tutorial about it, when you go for to a product, you will see the price psychology will says € 31,90 cents. Or for example this 'Fit Shaker'. If you want to buy it it's only € 9,95. This is completely psychological and then it looks cheaper than € 10,- but everyone knows it's almost exactly the same as € 10. But if I enter my prices exclusive of tax, I really have to do a lot of calculation to get the exact € 9,95 on my products. The next step is a very important one, as it makes a big difference when checking out on your website. If you want to calculate your tax based on your shipping address of your customer, billing address of your customer, or your shop-based address which is your own. Which one should you choose? Well if you're only selling in your own country, for example your own state where you have the same taxes, you can choose 'Shop-based address'. If you're selling cross-borders or you're selling to different states with other taxes per product, you should use the customer shipping address. And this is very important because taxes will change in different states or different places. Let us demonstrate first with the shop based address. Now the shipping tax class is really important. Do you want to have it based on cart items, use the standard tax class, reduced or zero rate? If you only have one tax class for all your products, and your shipments, then you should use 'Standard'. If you have different tax classes, for example: in my country - The Netherlands - these things are just products taxed by 21%. But this product with plant-based protein, is actually food. So we are only being charged in 9% taxes. So I have a fit shaker 21% and I have plant-based protein which is 9%. Then I should choose shipping tax class based on card items. Then you have Rounding. Round your tax subtotal level, instead of rounding per line. I should do this at the subtotal level. Especially when you're adding up more products you will see that the rounding of the tax levels should be done at the highest level, and not on the lowest level, or else this will change a couple of cents here and there, and in an entire year it will totally add up. And you get a difference with your book keeping software. And the tax classes are actually just the names of this one over here, reduced and zero rate. Who actually has a zero rate tax? That would be amazing... So if I change this one for example my 9% rate and I delete this one, and I save my changes, look what happens. Then I get my 9% rate rates over there and I have my standard rates. So you can just add anything in here you want. ... 📖 Read the rest of the transcript at #Taxes #WooCommerce #Webshop #WordPress
