How to Assign Different Tax Rates to Products

To correctly tax products with different tax rates, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the ikas Dashboard:

   Sign in to your ikas dashboard.

2. Access Definitions:

   • Go to the Products tab and click on Definitions.
   • Select the Tags section.

3. Create a Tag for Special Tax Rates:

   • Click the + Add New Tag button.
   • Give the tag a relevant name (e.g., “7% Tax”), and save it.

4. Assign the Tag to the Relevant Products:

   In the left-hand menu, navigate to Products > Products and add the appropriate tag to every product that requires a different tax rate.

5. Add Product Overrides for the Tax Zone:

   • Go to Settings > Tax Settings and select the relevant tax zone (e.g. Germany).
   • Scroll down to Product Overrides and click on + Add Overrides.
   • Select the tag you previously created, enter the desired tax rate (e.g. 7%), and save it.
   • Don’t forget to save the settings for the entire tax zone as well!

6. Result:

   • Products without a tag will continue to be taxed at the default country tax rate (e.g. 19%).
   • Products with the special tag will be taxed at the new rate (e.g. 7%).

Example

Tax Zone: Germany

• Standard: All products are taxed at 19% VAT. The country tax is set to 19%.
• Exception: Basic food items, taxed at 7%, are assigned the tag “7% Tax”, and the tax rate is set to 7% in the settings.

By following these steps, you can easily manage individual tax rates for your products.
