Working with tax-inclusive prices in WooCommerce
When you enter product prices in WooCommerce including tax, the final price customers see can fluctuate based on their location. By default, WooCommerce removes your store's base tax rate and adds the customer's local rate instead.
For example, if a product costs €10 (including a 20% base tax):
- A customer in a 0% tax country sees €8.33.
- A customer in a 10% tax country sees €9.09.
The two steps below configure WooCommerce so customers always see a consistent price while the Quaderno plugin handles global tax calculation.

Set the base tax rate
WooCommerce needs to know your store's base tax rate to correctly calculate the net price from your tax-inclusive prices. Quaderno uses this base rate to apply the correct international tax rules.
To set the base tax rate, follow these steps:
- Go to
WooCommerce > Settings > Tax. - Select the Standard rates tab.
- Enter the standard tax rate for the country where your store is based (for example, 21% IVA for Spain or 20% VAT for the United Kingdom).
- Remove all other rows.
- Click
Save changes.
