How to choose tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive pricing
Web
Updated Aug 2026
One setting decides how tax appears on every sale: whether the prices you enter already include tax (tax-inclusive) or tax is added on top (tax-exclusive). Getting it right is essential — a mismatch here is the most common reason tax “looks wrong”.
Which to choose
- Tax-inclusive — the shelf price is what the customer pays; tax is calculated out of it. Common in retail where displayed prices include VAT.
- Tax-exclusive — tax is added to the price at checkout. Common in wholesale/B2B.
Where to find it
Web: tax settings — set inclusive or exclusive to match how you price on the shelf.
If tax looks wrong, check this first — see wrong tax on a sale.
