Taxes (GST / VAT)

Taxes affect pricing, invoices, and customer compliance. This page helps you configure taxes correctly based on your selling region.

Note: Tax rules can vary by country/state. If you're unsure, confirm with your accountant or tax advisor.

GST (India)

If you sell in India and charge GST, you typically need:

• GSTIN number (for invoices)
• GST rates by product category (if applicable)
• Proper invoice format for compliance

Common setup approach

• Enable GST
• Add your GSTIN
• Configure whether prices are inclusive or exclusive of tax

Inclusive pricing: price shown includes tax (common in consumer pricing)
Exclusive pricing: tax added at checkout (common in B2B)

VAT (Europe)

If you sell in the EU/UK (or VAT regions), you may need:

• VAT number
• VAT rates based on customer location
• Different rules for domestic vs cross-border selling

VAT considerations

• VAT can differ by country
• Digital goods may have different rules than physical goods
• Some businesses may be eligible for VAT exemptions (depending on threshold rules)

What to verify before going live

• Tax is calculated correctly in checkout
• Invoice includes the required tax breakdown
• Refunds properly account for tax

Quick checklist

• Tax enabled (if applicable)
• Tax ID added (GSTIN/VAT)
