Tax Policy

Tax rates can be configured for individual countries, the EU area including all associated countries and for all other countries. Any number of tax rules can be created and managed in Billwerk+ Transform.

The attributes of a tax policy are:

  • Name,
  • Configured entries.

Example:

Entries: [
    {Country:AT, Rate:20},
    {Country:DE, Rate:19},
    {Country:EU, Rate:0},
    {Country:XX, Rate:0}
]

Name: "Dienstleistungen"

TaxPolicy describes how a certain type of product or service shall be taxed in a given list of countries. For instance, a tax policy's name could be "e-Books" and contain a tax rate of 19% for Germany and 2.5% for Luxembourg.

All products must be mapped to a tax policy through their plan group, so Billwerk+ knows which rule to apply when invoicing.

Price lists

We provide you with choices to streamline the management of your products and pricing.

The price list feature enables you to organize and manage the prices of your products or services. It allows you to set different prices for different customer groups or scenarios, making pricing management more flexible.

Prerequisites

In order to benefit from this feature, it needs to be unlocked for your account. If you are interested, please contact [email protected].

After activation, current product prices will immediately be part of a default price list, so merchants should not be affected and can start adding new prices.

API changes:

  • Product APIs are made to be retro-compatible. The price set in the default price list will be used.
  • A price list can be set to create and select a specific one. The optional field will use the default one if nothing is set.
