Tax/VAT

In order to charge tax, you must first enable Tax charges in WHMCS. To do this, go to Configuration > Tax Setup and then tick the checkbox at the top of the page labelled Tax Enabled and click Save Changes. Tax is now enabled in WHMCS. Now, you can proceed to setup your tax zones. This is done as follows:

1. Click the Add New Tax Rule tab on the Tax Setup page
2. In the Name field, enter a name for the tax zone which allows you to identify it
3. Next, for the Country, choose where this tax rate applies to all countries or whether it only applies to a selected country
4. For the state, again you can choose whether it applies to all states in the selected country or only a selected state
5. Finally, enter the tax rate as a percentage, for example 17.5 and then click the Save Changes button

For example, if you were a UK business you would setup the system to charge VAT. In the country field, you would choose "United Kingdom" and for the state you would leave it set at "Apply Rule to All States". You would then enter the tax rate of "17.50" and click the Save Changes button. You can setup an unlimited number of tax rules.
