Setting up tax exempt/collect tax for B2C customers and 2 types of B2B customers

Tutorial: Setting up tax exempt/collect tax for B2C customers and 2 types of B2B customers:

  • B2C Customers (normal customers): include tax.
  • B2B Customers from Germany: include tax.
  • B2B Customers from other countries: exclude tax.

For example, traders from Germany & traders from other countries in EU:

  • normal customers (B2C customers): include tax.
  • Traders from Germany: include VAT.
  • Traders from other countries in EU: exclude VAT.

For this circumstance, we highly recommend using these modules:

  • Custom pricing (set up custom prices for B2B Customers)
  • Wholesaler Registration Form (create custom registration form for B2B Customers)
  • VAT Exempt and Tax Inc/Exc (calculate tax inc/exc for B2B/B2C Customers at checkout page)

Step 1: Shopify Settings > Taxes > tick Include tax in prices

Step 2: Click Go to Markets preferences > tick Include or exclude tax based on your customer's country

Remember to set up taxes in EU

Step 2: Setting up Custom pricing rule for trader

- Enable Custom Pricing in Dashboard. If it's not working, please install it manually by following our instructions in the "CP Installation" tab.

- In "CP Rules" tab, Create new rule > Enter information

- Apply to Customers > Customer tags > Select the tags for trader (in both Germany and other States in EU)

- Apply to Products: select the product you want to show as custom pricing for customers.

- Expand "Advanced Settings" to exclude customers and to choose the date when the rule is valid.

- Custom prices: select custom pricing options you want to set up (apply price/decrease fixed amount/decrease by percentage)

- Click "Show product pricing details" to show the custom pricing for products.

- Save

Step 3: Enable wholesale registration form & Tax Inc/Excl

- Enable "Wholesaler Registration Form" & "VAT EXEMPT AND TAX INC/EXCL" in Dashboard​

- In the "VAT EXEMPT'' tab, click "Installation" & follow the INC/EXCL Tax Display Installation instruction. You MUST install it manually so that this module works.

Note: If you tick “All prices include tax” in the Shopify Admin Settings, please go to "VAT EXEMPT'' tab > Settings > Tick “Automatic exclude tax on checkout page with our B2B app.”

Step 4: Setting up wholesale registration form for traders 

+ Create new form > enter form name & customize your form

+ Advanced Settings > Assign this tag for customer registered with this form after admin approval > Select the tag you want to add for this customer group (“trader”) & select “Yes” for auto tax exempt. (for other countries in EU).

+ This form settings helps automatically exempt tax for customers from other countries in EU (except Germany). For German customers, we’ll do it in the next steps. 

+ In Registration Forms, you should include “Country” and “EU Validation” fields to know where the B2B Customers come from.

+ After customers register by this form, you can see the result in Registration Management tab in our app

+ For Austria customers (other EU customer), they are automatically exempted tax.

+ For German customer, you have to manually uncheck “Tax exempt” so that it is tax-included.

Result in product page: All customers will both see price inc/exc Tax display

Result in checkout page after entering Information (Country, postal code):

- German B2C Customers: Include tax

- Austria B2C Customers (Other countries in EU): Include tax

​- German B2B Customers: Include tax

- Austria B2B Customers (Other Countries in EU): Exclude tax
