Tax Calculation

The tax system of the CloudSuite platform supports the following features:

  • VAT
  • Multiple tax rates per product (“Tax Groups”)
  • Update a unit price with a tax, as a base for further tax calculation
  • Percentages & fixed amount taxes (levies)
  • Tax over tax (parent-child structure)
  • Tax per product & company
  • Tax Rules to overrule taxes
  • Levies
  • B2B customers can overrule displaying prices including VAT.

Tax Rules​

Tax Rules allow you to overrule the default VAT rate of the product. This is used:

  • For customers with delivery addresses in other countries, the so-called intra-Community supplies. These customers/addresses need to be linked to the applicable Tax Rule when one of these conditions apply:
    • You deliver goods to another EU country. You must be able to show this in your administration (e.g. order forms, order confirmations, and transport documents).
    • Your customer represents a business and has a VAT identification number in the country of delivery.
  • For country shops with country-specific VAT rates (e.g. Germany 19% and Belgium 21%).

In Tax Rule, you set the “from country” (warehouse) and “to country” (delivery) plus the original tax and the new tax.

  • Tax Rules are for both international and B2B shops
  • For B2C shops (prices including VAT) you can set Tax Rules at shop level.

Levies​

Levies, used for removal fees for instance, are either a percentage or fixed amount. For some products and countries, VAT can be calculated for the amount including the levy.

CloudSuite also offers the option to update the product price with the levy amount as a base for the VAT calculation.
