Financing, tax rates, and accounting
We are a UK-based opticians currently implementing Shopify for ecom, and would also like to use Shopify POS in-store.
Because of UK VAT rules when we sell sunglasses usually they have the standard 20% VAT applied. However, if we replace the sunglass lens with a prescription lens, the frame then becomes a medical product which means we then sell the frame (and lens) with a bespoke VAT amount - 8.8888% in our case (the lens is fixed at the reduced VAT amount).
Is there any way of applying 2 different VAT amounts to the same product in Shopify POS?
Duplicating the frame is not really an option as we have around 400 sunglass SKUs and stock management would be a complete nightmare (unless i'm missing something!).
I've been exploring various Mix n Match bundle app solutions (pick frame for Product A, pick lens for Product B, apply custom VAT to bundle) but have had no joy finding a bundling app that can do this.
If anyone has any options/experience on how i can facilitate this i'd be forever grateful, as I'm currently drawing a blank.
Thanks in advance
