Tax model 

Here you can take care of various settings concerning the tax model:

  • Should prices be calculated and displayed in the shop based on net prices (excluding VAT) or gross prices (including VAT)?

  • Should included tax be displayed in the shopping basket, e-mails, and order documents? Before setting this option, you should therefore check whether the tax laws in your country allow this setting.

  • Should the entry of prices in the administration area be based on net prices or gross prices?
