Same product, 2 variants, 2 different VAT

Shopify Discussion

Hi,

I am setting up a shop for a pastry chef who sales his chocolate creations online. In France dark chocolate VAT is 5,5% and milk chocolate is 20%.
For easter, he sells products which are exactly the same in both chocolate. So I have used variant option for clients to select dark or milk chocolate BUT how do I apply the right amount of VAT to each variant?

Many thanks to anyone who has an answer for that question! :folded_hands:

You need to make two separate products that you using currently as in one product.

In this way the VAT will apply separate.

Thank you for your answer. I have set up seperate Tax Rates as Collections but I don’t see how I apply each Collection to the Variant. Or maybe it’s not the right way to do it? ?

Did you create separate product or each variants?

I have a product (for example an easter egg) which as 2 variants: one is dark chocolate, the other is milk chocolate. This product is in a Collection named “Chocolate” which has a VAT of 5,5% but I would like to apply a VAT of 20% to the Milk chocolate variant. Is it possible to apply a specific Collection (set up with 20% VAT) to this milk variant?

  1. Shopify does not support assigning different VAT rates to individual variants of a single product.
  2. Tax settings in Shopify are applied at the product level, not at the variant level.
  3. Therefore, all variants of a product will share the same tax rate.

One last question sorry :grimacing:
If a product is set in a (general) Collection (with a 5,5% VAT) so I can display all the products of this category together, but within the Collection I have products with a 20% VAT. I have created another collection using this amount and I apply this Collection to a product as well as the “general” one, which one will really be applied? :thinking:
