    Show Price without VAT 

    The VAT switcher is prominently displayed on all product listing and product detail pages. It is positioned within the header or embedded in a persistent interface element—such as a sticky bar or dropdown—for consistent and convenient access.

    When a user selects “Show prices without VAT”, all product prices are dynamically updated to exclude applicable VAT.

    If a customer is logged in and belongs to a B2B group, prices are shown without VAT by default. Conversely, customers in a B2C group will see VAT-inclusive pricing by default.

    VAT rates are calculated based on the customer’s shipping address or the store’s default tax zone. Displayed prices accurately reflect tax inclusion or exclusion in accordance with Magento’s tax configuration settings.

    From the backend, administrators can fully manage VAT switcher behavior, including:

    • Enabling or disabling the VAT switcher

    • Setting the default display mode (inclusive or exclusive) per store view

    • Defining which customer groups have access to the switcher

    Show Price with VAT

    The VAT switcher is prominently displayed on all product listing and product detail pages. It is positioned in the header or embedded within a persistent interface element—such as a sticky bar or dropdown—for consistent and convenient access.

    When a user selects “Show prices with VAT”, all product prices are recalculated to include the applicable VAT.

    If a customer is logged in and belongs to a B2C group, prices are shown with VAT included by default. Guest users see pricing based on the store’s default configuration but can manually adjust the display using the VAT switcher.

    VAT rates are calculated based on the customer’s shipping address or the store’s default tax zone. Displayed prices accurately reflect tax inclusion or exclusion in accordance with Magento’s tax configuration settings.

    From the backend, administrators can configure VAT switcher settings, including:

    • Enabling or disabling the VAT switcher

    • Setting the default display mode (inclusive or exclusive) per store view

    • Defining which customer groups can access the switcher
