Does WooCommerce Take Care of Taxes?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:36 pm

WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce platform for small businesses and entrepreneurs. It is built on WordPress, giving users a familiar and easy-to-use interface. One of the questions we often get asked is whether WooCommerce takes care of taxes.

PRO TIP: WooCommerce is a self-hosted ecommerce platform. This means that you are responsible for setting up and managing your own tax settings. WooCommerce does not take care of taxes for you.

The answer is both yes and no.

WooCommerce does not automatically calculate or file taxes for you. However, it does provide the tools you need to manage taxes on your own. With WooCommerce, you can set up tax rules for your products and have the taxes automatically calculated at checkout. You can also choose to display tax inclusive or exclusive prices on your website.

While WooCommerce does not take care of taxes for you, it does make it easy to manage them yourself. With its tax settings and tools, you can ensure that your customers are paying the correct amount of tax on their purchases.
