Product types are categories to which your product belongs, e.g. software, shipping product, seminar, e-book etc. When you create a product, you select the product type as a vendor. The VAT for the product is calculated based on the product type.
Example:
- E-book = VAT Germany 7%
- Online course = VAT Germany 19%
To ensure that the correct VAT rate is calculated, it is important that you select the correct product type. You can also use the tax and commission calculator.
