Fixed prices with different tax amounts

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out!

I understand that you’d like to always show the same price on the front end (€100) whether the tax rate is 0% or 21% but currently, different prices are isplayed.

These scenarios aren’t handled very well by default even if you set Prices entered with tax to yes in WooCommerce >> Settings >> Tax, because the system will assume that this price includes the tax specified for the store’s base country.

E.G. if the store is in the Netherlands, you have Prices entered with tax set to yes and the tax rate entered in WooCommerce >> Settings >> Tax for that country (and product) is 21% – the store will assume that €21 is the tax and €79 is the product price, and in other countries, it will simply add whichever percentage is applicable on top of €79.

There’s a workaround involving a code snippet though and it has been discussed here:

Here’s a useful post on how taxes work in WooCommerce.

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/How-Taxes-Work-in-WooCommerce#prices-including-tax—experimental-behavior

Included in the post, is code you can use to charge the same amount everywhere and absorb the differences in taxes. To enable this you would use the code:

add_filter( ‘woocommerce_adjust_non_base_location_prices’, ‘__return_false’ )

You can add this code snippet using Code Snippets plugin.

I hope this helps!

Hi @thadeo,
