How to configure tax for countries outside the EU region?
Summary
Since the Canary Islands is a separate autonomous region outside of Spain/EU it is available as an individual country also, this applies to other independent regions. In order to configure tax for Canary, navigate from Settings > Configure Chargebee > Taxes > Add Region.
Solution
Before you configure General Tax, it is worth considering how you should register for tax in the country where you are selling and what factors that affect tax rates in that country including whether your product catalog is taxable in the country or not and which tax jurisdictions (federal and local) you are liable to pay taxes to.
The autonomous regions are introduced as new regions/countries as both rules and rates will be different from the parent country whereas if it is just separate tax rates within a country, hence you'll have to configure it as a separate country/region on your Taxes in Chargebee.
Pre-configuration checklist
Ensure you have the following information (with regard to a particular country) ready before you begin the configuration process:
-
The name of the tax or taxes you have to levy on your products
-
The rate of the tax or taxes you have to levy on your products
-
Your tax registration number
-
Tax regulations (like what your product catalog should have inclusive or exclusive prices)
-
Invoice requirements (what information needs to appear on your invoice). You can customize your invoices depending on the invoice requirements in the country where you are selling. Check out the Invoice Customization page for more.
Go to Settings > Configure Chargebee > Taxes and Add Region
Step 1: Update your organization address
Make sure you've added your organization address at Settings > Configure Chargebee > Business Profile. You cannot configure taxes in Chargebee without completing this step in your initial setup.
Step 2: Enable Tax
Go to Settings > Configure Chargebee > Taxes & Add Region
Step 2a: You can either configure it Manually or by using Avalara configuration.
Step 3: Choose your price type
Regulations are different in each country - some call for the price of your product to include tax and some for the tax to be excluded. You can choose for your price type to be either tax inclusive or tax exclusive depending on where your customers are located.
Step 3a: Consistent Pricing
If you choose for your products to have inclusive pricing, the consistent pricing option might appeal to you. If you are selling to customers across the world and would want to charge them the same price for your product regardless of the taxes applicable as per the customer's location, use the Consistent Pricing option.
Step 5: Enter your tax registration number
Enter your tax registration number and your Tax Registration Label here.
Step 6: Add your tax rates
Finally, you will need to provide a label and the tax rate that you would like Chargebee to apply to your invoices. Click here to know for more information.
