 * Hi Guys,
    I have a big problem and cant find any solution for that.
 * We’re selling to Austria and Germany
    So Austria has 20% Tax and Germany 19% 
   We need to setup the prices in WooCommerce without Tax and let WooCommerce calculate
   it
 * The Problem is that we now have 2 different prices for both countries
    But we
   want to have everywhere the same prices.
 * Is there a solution for that?
 * Kind Regards from Vienna
    Gregor.

 * Hello [@shivoxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shivoxx/),
 * >The Problem is that we now have 2 different prices for both countries
    But we
   want to have everywhere the same prices.
 * Did you set prices inclusive of tax?
    Can you please share a screenshot of your“
   WooCommerce 👉 Settings 👉 Tax Settings” so we can be sure about it? We recommend
   [https://snipboard.io](https://snipboard.io) for easily sharing screenshots –
   please follow the instructions on that page, then paste the URL in this thread.
   Please also share your site URL so we can check that.
 * If you set price inclusive of tax then it should show different prices for Australia
   and Germany as those have different tax rates. So, for a product with a base 
   price of $100, the price for Australia will be $120 and for Germany, the price
   will be $119.
 * In this case, you can set the price exclusive of Tax so it will show the same
   price on the shop page, and later the tax will get added on the Checkout page.

 * Hi [@mashi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mashi/)
    Sure thing the url is

    We set the prices
   exclusive the tax because we made a custom plugin that the orders get automaticly
   pushed to our erp system. and its needed that we h ave it like this
 * And here starts the problem ^^
 * i know that it will work when we enter the price inclusive tax but thats unfortunatly
   not possible for us 🙁
 * Kind Regards
    Gregor.

 * Hi [@shivoxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shivoxx/)
 * Thanks for sharing the screenshot and confirming that prices are entered exclusive
   of tax.
 * I noticed that for the “Display prices in the shop” field, `steuern eingeschlossen`
   is selected which translates to “taxes included”. Please change this to “Excluding
   tax”, and then it should no longer show two different prices for the two countries.

 * Hi [@margaretwporg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/margaretwporg/)
    This
   will not work 🙁 because at the end the customer see the same Price but at the
   end of the day the german customers will pay less than the austrian people because
   1% tax difference we want to have that both countries pay the same 🙂
 * kind regards

 * Hi [@shivoxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shivoxx/),
 * > we want to have that both countries pay the same
 * If you want to charge the same amount and absorb the differences in taxes please
   add this snippet to your site:
 * `add_filter( 'woocommerce_adjust_non_base_location_prices', '__return_false' );`
 * 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](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/How-Taxes-Work-in-WooCommerce#prices-including-tax—experimental-behavior)
 * As a side note, I would recommend using a plugin like [Code Snippets ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/)
   to add custom PHP code into your site without directly accessing the functions.
   php file. Here is a link on how to use the Code Snippets plugin:

 * I hope this helps.

 * I understand what you mean. The code for the experimental feature we shared earlier
   will work only if you have “prices inclusive of tax” enabled. What you’re trying
   to achieve is not possible with WooCommerce core and “prices exclusive of tax”.
 * I looked around and found a discussion [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-same-prices-inclusive-of-tax-for-different-countries/)
   that might help or, at the very least, point you in another direction. The idea
   is: using currency exchange “rates” to make up for the difference in taxes and
   keep the final price the same.
 * Let us know how it goes.

 * Hi [@shivoxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shivoxx/),
 * While we may not implement all suggestions, the discussion around them is what
   drives us to make great things. One thing that may push it to be built in WooCommerce
   core, if you’d like, is to start a conversation on our public repo on GH!
 * [https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/new/choose](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/new/choose)
 * I’ll now mark this topic as solved. Feel free to[ open a new one](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/#new-topic-0)
   if you need further help.
 * Best regards,
