Specify tax rules to costs in your forms

This article explains how you can charge taxes to items in your form.

  1. Go to the form containing the items with a cost to which taxes will apply

  2. Edit the item and go to the Pricing tab.

  3. Under Tax rules, select the tax that applies to this item.

  4. Decide if taxes are added to the cost of the item or if they are included.

In the example below, a VAT of 10% is added to the cost (250$), meaning there will be 25$ of VAT added to the registration, for a total of 275$.

Fourwaves calculates taxes from the billing address that the participant enters at checkout.

Write to support@fourwaves.com if your tax rule isn't in the list. We can add it.

Variable taxes per country

Some tax rules charge taxes only to participants who indicate a specific country/province in their billing address.

In the example below, if VAT 25% is selected, 25% VAT will be charged to everyone. If VAT 25% in Denmark is selected, only those who select Denmark as the country in the billing address form will be charged 25% of VAT.

Frequently asked questions

Is the VAT number asked to participants on the billing address form?

Yes, when a VAT is charged, an optional field appears on the billing address form asking for the VAT number.

Why does the invoice show the item for less than its cost when taxes are included?

If you choose Include taxes in the cost, Fourwaves takes the taxes out of the cost. The invoice shows the item price without taxes. The taxes appear on separate lines under Subtotal. The Total equals the cost of the item.

If the billing address is in a country or province where the rule charges no tax, the participant pays the full cost and the invoice shows no tax.

Can I add a VAT 0% and a VAT 0% reverse-charge?

Yes, there are two separate tax rules: VAT 0% and VAT reverse charge 0%. The selected rule appears on the checkout page and on the invoice.
