VAT settings
Tax settings turn on value added tax (VAT) in your store, decide how it applies to prices and shipping, and hold your VAT number and rate for each country you sell to. Open them from Settings > General > Tax settings.
VAT settings depend on your plan. When your plan does not include them, Activate VAT in store is disabled with an upgrade icon, and Add country opens an upgrade dialog. To open the page, a staff member needs the permission to view VAT settings. To add or edit countries, they need the permission to manage them.
The page also shows a banner for connecting your store to ZATCA's Fatoora platform. Select Connect now to start, or see Fatoora (ZATCA) integration.
Activate VAT
Turn on Activate VAT in store. More options appear.
Set the options below.
Select Save at the bottom of the card. By saving, you confirm that you reviewed the applicable VAT regulations and applied them.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Are the prices of your products inclusive of VAT? | Turn on if the prices you enter already include VAT. You are then responsible for including it. Turn off if you enter prices without VAT and want Zid to add it automatically. |
| Do you want to apply VAT on shipping fees? | Adds VAT to shipping fees too. When off, shipping fees show as you set them, without VAT. |
| Do you want to display the product's price in your store inclusive of VAT? | When on, each product's price in the store includes VAT, and VAT also shows on the invoice. When off, products show without VAT and the VAT appears only on the invoice at checkout. |
| Tax percentage for other countries | The VAT rate for countries you have not added below, from 0 to 100%. |
Your changes apply to the store as soon as you save.
