Including VAT won't display on product site

[marceloldenburg]

Good day 🙂

I can't display the price including VAT on the product page with my theme. I've already made all the tax settings, ain the Dawn theme,it's displayed correctly. It has to be an issue with the theme I currently use. I also can't find any code or line related to it, I've already tried looking for something.

Maybe someone here can help me out.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi there 😊

I’ve had a quick look at your site, and from my end, it does look as though the prices that are displayed are including VAT. 

For example, with this product: https://vivanora.de/products/white-grace-ring?variant=51457871085897, the price shows as €15,90. When I proceed to checkout, it confirms that the total price of €15,90 includes €2,54 of MwSt (VAT). I’ve attached some screenshots to show you what I’m seeing.

Is there a specific product or part of the site where VAT isn’t displaying as expected? Let me know - I’d be happy to help dig deeper!

Thanks for your answer!

Yes it should be displayed on the product page right under the price.

Its is correctly calculate but has to be shown on the product page, required by law in germany.

Ah, I see! Here’s what I’d suggest:

1. Quick workaround: You can hardcode the German VAT rate (19%) into your theme. Note this method:

   • Won’t work for other countries.
   • Requires updating if the VAT rate changes.
   • Won’t update dynamically for product variants with different prices.
     
     

2. Complete solution: Consider switching themes to one that supports VAT display natively, or hiring a developer to properly integrate the VAT display functionality into your theme.
   
   

To implement the workaround, first find this HTML tag in your theme code:

<span class="price-item price-item--regular">{{ ..stuff here.. }}</span>

It's usually in a file in the snippets folder, often called price.liquid or similar.

Then add the following code directly beneath it:

{% assign tax_rate = 0.19 %}
{% assign tax_amount = product.price | times: tax_rate %}
<span class="caption" style="display:block">Inkl. MwSt. von {{ tax_amount | money }}</span>

Let me know if you need further assistance!
