Understanding VAT on Your Web60 Bill
Web60 charges Irish VAT at the current rate on all services. Your invoice will show:
- Base service amount
- VAT amount (calculated at Irish rate)
- Total amount including VAT
If you're VAT registered and provide a valid VAT number, this may affect how VAT is applied to your bill. For specific VAT treatment questions, consult your accountant.
Setting Up VAT Display on Your Website
If you sell products or services through your website, you need to display prices correctly:
- Go to your WordPress admin dashboard
- Navigate to your eCommerce settings (if using WooCommerce or similar)
- Find "Tax Settings" or "VAT Settings"
- Enable "Display prices including VAT" for Irish customers
- Set your tax rate to match current Irish VAT rates
- Configure tax classes if you sell different types of products
