The request
“In the UK we display prices including VAT. Some customers are VAT-exempt. When they check out, the VAT should come off, and right now it doesn't.”
Tax display and tax charging that needed to work together.
The approach
We configured tax settings so prices display inclusive of VAT, and tagged exempt customers so VAT is removed automatically at checkout for them.
What we shipped
VAT-inclusive display for all visitors
VAT removed for tagged exempt customers
Tested with exempt and standard accounts
