How do I select a reduced VAT rate for my products?


In this guide


Many countries in Europe have reduced VAT rates (value-added tax) that apply to specific product categories.

As a brand, you can choose whether a reduced VAT rate applies to each of your products. This setting can be found within each product on the Products page. The reduced VAT rate will only apply to domestic transactions, where products are shipped within the same country.


How do I select a reduced VAT rate?

To select whether a product should have a reduced VAT rate, go into your Products page for a specific product and select the reduced rate of VAT option. If you do not select anything, the standard rate of VAT will automatically apply.

You will be able to select the correct VAT rate for your product in the drop-down menu. This menu will only provide reduced VAT rates for the country that you ship from as a brand.


How do I change the VAT rate on my existing catalog?

To bulk edit your products, go to your Products page and select the Add products button at the top right-hand side of your portal.

To bulk update your products, click on the Upload Spreadsheet option in the dropdown. This option will provide you with a CSV template of all of your products, which you can then upload to update all of your products. Please populate the VAT rate column in the CSV template for each product.

Alternatively, you can submit a request to our Content Team. To do this, click on the Submit Request button in the dropdown. You can then submit a CSV, with instructions, and our team will help you build or update your shop and products accordingly. This process can take 5-10 business days.
