One of our clients products are VAT exempt but VAT must be charged if the customer is operating in the alcoholic drink sector.
Is it possible to apply VAT at checkout dependant on a custom value? We were thinking of having a dropdown field for business customers to select their sector.
If the shop is on Shopify Plus plan, it would be relatively straightforward to apply VAT via a Shopify Function.
If not, you’d probably need to create a draft order for given line items and then based on the customer/line items mark it “taxable” true or “taxable” false. You can do this manually or via an app.
Kind regards,
Peter
Hello, it sounds like this could be a pretty robust ask. Though I don’t have a direct answer for you, I did find a whole section about how to “Set a product to be exempt from sales tax” in the Shopify Help center.
I hope this steers you in the right direction.
