Enumeration: VatType

Defines how tax (VAT) is represented in displayed prices.

This enum specifies whether prices shown in the configurator include or exclude Value Added Tax (VAT) or similar consumption taxes. This distinction is important for transparent pricing and compliance with tax regulations in different regions.

The VAT display setting affects how prices are presented to users and interpreted in the ordering process, but doesn't change the final amount paid after all applicable taxes are applied.

Enumeration Members​

VAT_EXCL​

VAT_EXCL: "VAT_EXCL"

Prices exclude VAT from the displayed amount.

In VAT_EXCL mode, prices are shown without tax, which will be added separately during the checkout process. The displayed price is not the final amount that customers will pay.

This mode is:

  • Often used for B2B (business-to-business) transactions
  • Common in the United States and countries without VAT systems
  • Useful for business customers who may reclaim VAT
  • Preferred when tax rates vary by customer location or status

For example, a €100 item with 20% VAT would be displayed as €100, with VAT added separately during checkout.

VAT_INCL​

VAT_INCL: "VAT_INCL"

Prices include VAT in the displayed amount.

In VAT_INCL mode, all prices shown include the applicable tax amount. The displayed price is the final amount that customers will pay, with no additional tax calculated at checkout.

This mode is:

  • Typically required for B2C (business-to-consumer) sales in many countries
  • Preferred for retail customers who want to see the final price
  • Common in Europe, Australia, and many other regions with VAT systems
  • More transparent for end consumers who want to understand total costs

For example, a €100 item with 20% VAT would be displayed as €120.
