How Do I Add GST to WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 11:17 pm

WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce platform that allows you to sell online. If you’re running a business in Australia, you’ll need to add Goods and Services Tax (GST) to your WooCommerce store. In this article, we’ll show you how to add GST to WooCommerce.

When you sell products or services in Australia, you must charge GST at a rate of 10%. This is known as the ‘Goods and Services Tax’ (GST).

If you’re registered for GST, you can include GST in the price of your products and services. You can also claim GST credits for the GST included in the price of your purchases.

If you’re not registered for GST, you can’t charge GST on your sales or claim GST credits on your purchases.

PRO TIP: Adding GST to WooCommerce can be tricky and if not done correctly, could result in inaccurate GST reporting. We recommend that you seek professional help to ensure that your WooCommerce store is set up correctly for GST.

To add GST to WooCommerce:

  1. Log into your WordPress site and go to WooCommerce > Settings.
  2. Click on the Tax tab.
  3. Check the Enable Taxes and Tax Calculations checkbox.
  4. In the Tax Calculation Method dropdown, select Row – Prices entered with tax.
  5. Click on the Save changes button.

You’ve now successfully added GST to WooCommerce!

Conclusion:

Adding GST to WooCommerce is a simple process that only takes a few minutes. Once you’ve enable taxes and tax calculations, all you need to do is select Row – Prices entered with tax in the Tax Calculation Method dropdown. Don’t forget to save your changes!
