This article details how to configure tax settings for shops operating from New Zealand. If you are based outside of New Zealand, please see this article for instructions on configuring your tax settings.
To set up your own tax settings:
- In the Manage area of your shop go to Settings and select Ecommerce then Financial Details.
- Select Edit tax details
- Select New Zealand GST is applicable for my shop and enter your GST number.
My product prices include GST
This is best for when you would like the product's price to be shown as GST inclusive within your shop.
My Product prices include GST, but I want to remove the GST component from all orders that are sent overseas.
This option will display all product prices inclusive of New Zealand GST. However, for orders that are being sent overseas, the GST will be removed during checkout. This enables ease of GST compliance if you regularly fulfill overseas orders.
My product prices exclude GST. Add GST in the checkout for New Zealand customers and display '+GST' after all my product prices.
If your site primarily sells to overseas customers, however, you anticipate a number of New Zealand orders, then this option allows you to display prices as GST exclusive. Overseas customers will not be charged GST while New Zealand customers will have the appropriate amount added whist in checkout.
- Select Finish
- Publish changes for your new tax settings to take effect.
