TAX on products

Hi,

In need to add 2 different taxes on one product (set). This is a giftbox included 9% & 21% tax because of the goods. Food and drinks. So a part of the product needs to be added with 9% and the other 21%. This is by Dutch law required.

Example:
Christmas box no. 1.
A. Food products € 40,00
B. Drinks and packaging € 30,00
A= 9% VAT
B= 21% VAT

And to make it more complex, it should also be over the shipping cost in the same %…
Is this even possible with Snipcart. This would be a great opportunity because this seems lacking in all e-commerce platforms.

Please help / advise!

Hi @rliebrand,

You can apply taxes to specific products using the “data-item-taxes” attribute.

As for applying the tax to the shipping method, this is possible by ticking the following checkbox when creating your tax inside the dashboard:

Let me know if that helps,

Cheers!

Thanks for your reply.

I need 2 tax percentages on one product. So can I use this attribute twice on one product?
“data-item-taxes" 9% over 90,00 euro
“data-item-taxes" 21% over 50,00 euro

And this is also the case on the percentage over shipping cost. It’s unbelievable complicated in The Netherlands… .

Question: how does shipping behaves if different taxes are in the same cart, and taxes apply to shipping?
