The Standard Tax Rate is the percentage of tax applied to the value of sales. To ensure your business complies with different tax legislations, you can process these values using two methods: Standard Rate or Custom Rates.
Standard Rate
When opting for the standard rate, you must choose between two types of automatic or manual processing:
-
Automatic calculation type: you select the desired provider (Guru or Stripe), define whether the calculation will be based on the seller's or buyer's country, and, if necessary, activate VIES validation;
-
Manual calculation type: you enter the fixed percentage to be applied and, if desired, activate VIES validation.
Custom Rates
If your scenario requires specific rules, custom rates allow you to configure the tax by selecting the country and state (optional), defining the exact percentage to be applied to each charge.
Custom rate settings prevail over the standard rate, ensuring the application of the specific rule.
Guru offers this flexibility so you can automate your operation with agility through general rules, while ensuring total precision to meet the specific tax requirements of each region or product category
