Tax is quite difficult for people who are newbies with PrestaShop. This article aims to guide you step by step to apply and display tax in RockPOS by answering 3 questions. In this post, we will guide you on 2 ranges of PrestaShop versions: PrestaShop 1.6.x and PrestaShop 1.7.x:

  1. How to set up tax for a product?
  2. When is tax applied to your customers?
  3. How to display price with or without tax in the Sell page?

A. [PrestaShop 1.6.x]

1. How to set up tax for a product?

  • Enable tax and in your system: from PrestaShop back office, go to Localization > Taxes > Tax options then enable tax.

  • After adding a tax, you need create tax rules group: from PrestaShop Back Office > Localization > Tax rules > Add new tax rules group.
  • To apply a tax rule for your product, do it in PrestaShop Back Office > Catalog > Products > Edit product > Prices. From here, you will be able to choose a relevant tax rule from the dropdown list

So your product is applied the tax successfully.

2. When is a tax applied to your customers?

Tax is applied to a customer when and only when an order meets these 2 criteria:

  1. Tax is set up correctly for your products in the earlier step
  2. Your customer comes from geographical areas where the tax rule is applied to

In the other words, it depends on his address, invoice address or delivery address, tax will be applied to him. The option can be found under Localization > Taxes > Tax options > Based on where you can choose which kind of address to be taken into account.

Like on the image above, tax will be applied if your customer’s delivery address is in the area which applies this tax rule. It is for PrestaShop, but applied for RockPOS, too.

In the Sell page, you just need to change your customer’s delivery address to apply tax.

3. How to display price with or without tax in the Sell page?

You can set up to display the product price including or excluding tax in the Sell page for each customer group.

Basing on the “Customer group” feature of PrestaShop, you can set up which group you want to display the price including tax, and vice versa.
