The way my store products pricing was originally set up, the price listed is including 20% UK VAT. I have over 450 products and various price options within, so to change the pricing to ex vat price would simply take far too long.

Now there seems no way to reduce the price 20% even when altering the tax for each Country in the ‘store tax’ settings.

I am in need for a export coder to be able to remove 20% from the cart on selected Countries.

I have thought of a get around creating a discount code of 20% for overseas users to use but there is no way to select the discount code to work exclusively for that country. i.e UK customers could still use the discount code.

Anyone willing to help code? I am of course happy to pay for this. I have spoke to Wix but they have no solution for me.

I have the same issue.  
I am not VAT registered so by law I cannot charge VAT. I cant see any way of removing the VAT charge from my products.

Did anyone ever get a fix for this because its now pretty imperative given we need to show pricing including 20% VAT here in the UK but on orders shipping to the EU we need the VAT deducted or customers end up paying it twice

The only way is to change all pricing of your products to excl VAT then go to the TAX settings and add VAT to each country.

I paid someone to do this.

still no news? this is crucial for e-commerce and its just a basic rule. I am impressed that wix didnt do it yet.  
Another issue is the “cash on delivery” option. We do need to have a small box that customer can tick to add the “cash on delivery” charge

I’m so disappointed this has not been fixed yet for UK sites. I’m paying a lot to use a platform that hasn’t addressed a fundamental change for ALL uk sites that sell to both Uk and EU… Please get on this Wix its crucial for this market.

right janew. And one more thing is the remote areas, where we also need a tick box for the customers.  
If wix correct those 3 things, it will be a wonderful e-commerce solution for everyone. For now it misses those really basic things when it has a lot of other nice stuff.

Its a matter of minutes for wix to correct those simple things but very crucial for the shop owners.

Now we are trying to fix all those things making tricks that look really unproffesianal to the customers, like adding the “cash on delivery” and the “remote areas” as a product to add those charges

Over a year has gone by since the last comment and Wix STILL have not resolved / developed the fix for this fundamental issue for those of us (I’m in the UK) selling overseas… Come on Wix… it’s well overdue…!

Hi, checking in on this as well. I’ve been googling frantically to solve this one as I don’t want my UK customers to be seeing all the prices ex vat, to then be stung on checkout, but also I don’t want to be charging VAT to customers abroad.

It feels like the system that is currently in place (can only add at checkout) is a bit of a killjoy to UK customers. Even if there was a toggle button next to ‘tax already included in prices’ that enables all VAT-eligible products to be previewed inc. VAT pre-checkout, so the product pages don’t falsely lead customers.

Please help Wix 🙂 would be great to have this feature!
