Configure Sales tax/VAT on the product Root Category level
Updated this week

Note: This setting overrides the general Sales tax/VAT setting

For certain scenarios, e.g. in the USA, sales tax might be applicable to products, but not to services. To make it easy to configure such a scenario, you can configure Sales tax/VAT on root category level.

Go to [yoururl].salesbuildr.com/auth/profile/categories

Select the root category you want to change the Sales tax/VAT settings and click the pencil icon.

On the modal, navigate to the 'Settings' tab. Then scroll down to find the 'is taxable?' option which offers three choices:

  1. Use customer default VAT rate - this option is selected by default and will apply the customer-level configured tax rate. If this is not configured on the customer level, the generic sales tax/VAT setting will be applied

  2. Taxable - apply taxes for products in this category, based on Sales tax/VAT settings

  3. Non-taxable - do not apply taxes for products in this category

When you've selected option 2, a new field will appear 'VAT rate'. Please select the applicable VAT rate for this category:
