Configure B2C VAT¶
Overview¶
B2C (Business to Consumer) refers to transactions where a company sells products or services directly to individual consumers. Examples include online stores, retail shops, and service providers selling directly to private customers.
In a B2C environment, prices are generally displayed including VAT. Consumers are primarily interested in the final amount they need to pay, so VAT is included in the displayed price.
For example:
Description |
Amount |
|---|---|
Product Price (Excluding VAT) |
€100 |
VAT (21%) |
€21 |
Total Price (Including VAT) |
€121 |
The customer sees and pays €121.
CURQ supports B2C VAT processing and can automatically apply VAT-inclusive pricing throughout products, sales orders, and invoices.
Configure B2C VAT Settings¶
Step 1: Configure Default Sales VAT¶
Navigate to:
Settings → Invoicing → Taxes
Select a VAT code that includes VAT as the default Sales VAT.

Step 2: Configure Customer Invoice Display¶
Navigate to:
Settings → Invoicing → Customer Invoices
Set the invoice price display to: Tax Included
Step 2: Configure Tax Inclusion¶
Navigate to:
Accounting → Configuration → Taxes
Open the required tax and set Included in Price to Tax Included.
This ensures that the sales price entered on products and invoices already contains VAT.
