How Do I Show VAT in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:14 pm

In the United Kingdom, value-added tax (VAT) is a tax on most goods and services. The standard VAT rate is 20%, but some items are taxed at a lower rate of 5% or are exempt from VAT altogether.

As a business owner, it’s your responsibility to add VAT to the prices of your goods and services and to charge the correct VAT rate. You then need to send that money to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

If you’re registered for VAT, you can show the VAT amount on your invoices and other customer communications. This guide will show you how to do that in WooCommerce.

PRO TIP: Some WooCommerce plugins may show VAT automatically on the store frontend, while others may require a little more configuration. Please consult the documentation for the plugin you are using to determine how to show VAT.

How to Show VAT in WooCommerce

To display the VAT amount on invoices and other communications with your customers, you’ll need to enable the “Show VAT” setting in WooCommerce. You can find this setting by going to WooCommerce > Settings > General > Miscellaneous.

Then, scroll down to the “Taxes” section and check the box next to “Show VAT. ”

Once you’ve enabled this setting, the VAT amount will be displayed on all future invoices and other communications with your customers.

Conclusion

Enabling the “Show VAT” setting in WooCommerce will display the VAT amount on future invoices and other communications with your customers. This is a helpful setting if you’re registered for VAT in the UK.
