To set VAT, go to Admin > Configuration > System Settings and make sure your tax mode is set to "Inclusive". If it is not, please log a support request here - to have this changed.

Next, you need to set your Tax Rate. To do this, go to Admin > Configuration > Tax Zones > + Add Tax Zone.

Choose a name for the Tax Zone, we recommend VAT. Next, define if this Tax is for the Country, State/Province, or ZIP/Postal Code. VAT is a Country tax. You can choose your country from the drop-down. This is not required though. If your country is not visible please contact zingfit support here to have this added.

To confirm everything is working by adding a taxable product to your basket in the register and proceeding to the take payment screen. You should now see "TAX included in total" on the receipt at the bottom.

With inclusive tax, when you create the Series on the system, you need to add the price without VAT. The Tax is added to the item in the register. This 5 Pack, for example, is priced at $83.33 on the system when created.

The Tax of 20% is added in the Register which will then bring the price up to $100 once the Tax is applied.

When setting up Products in your zingfit system, there is a VAT Calculator available to help assist with the exact unit price. For more information on this, please go here
