Typical WooCommerce configuration for a UK based company using IOSS scheme

E-commerce environment : WooCommerce Merchant: UK based, VAT registered in the UK or VAT not registered in the UK.

This topic explains the details of tax setting for UK based company using only IOSS and selling predominantly from the UK, to EU

UK VAT registered merchants.  

We highly recommend that UK merchants who are registered for VAT use inclusive pricing model for their EU sales.  That means that prices in the catalog already contain VAT. 

 

Settings for tax options:

taxes-1

This model means that prices in the catalog are kept with VAT in the catalog. Price in the shop  with the properly set geolocation will render VAT-inclusive prices for UK and EU.
Tax rates should contain GB with 20 percent VAT for standard rate products in this configuration.  

Pricing model example: 

UK item price 12 GBP (inclusive of 2GBP VAT)

EU price (Denmark, 25 percent VAT) 

12/1.2 (UK VAT removed) *1.25 (Danish VAT aded)  =12.5 GBP , inclusive 2.5 GBP  Danish VAT 

 

Merchants not registered for UK VAT 

For Merchant that do not collect VAT in the UK we propose that VAT exclusive model would be used. Prices in the catalog are to be  entered without VAT :


 Price in the shop  with the properly set geolocation will still  render VAT-inclusive prices for  EU.
Tax rates should not  contain GB line in this configuration.  

Pricing model example: 

UK item price 12 GBP (VAT in the UK is not collected)

EU price (Denmark, 25 percent VAT) 

12*1.25 (Danish VAT  added) =  15 GBP , inclusive 3 GBP  Danish VAT
