VAT

[Bracken101]

Why is tricky to this question 🙂  Do the PayPal fees include a VAT element?

Hey @Bracken101, 

Thanks for asking your question in our Community and welcome. 

Our fees do not include VAT. You do have the option to add VAT to payments you receive.

You can customize the VAT rate charged on your sales from your PayPal account. Your shopping cart software can take this rate and add it to the final price of your sales.

PayPal won’t charge VAT on your payments unless you select this option and specify a rate.

To select this setting on your account:

1. Log in to your PayPal account at www.paypal.com
2. Click ‘Profile’ near the top of the page.
3. Click ‘Payment Preferences’.
4. Under ‘Payment Preferences’ click ‘Update’ next to VAT.
5. Click ‘Add New Sales Tax’ in the Domestic or International section to add a new rate.
6. Enter the rate and click ‘Continue’.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each new rate needed.

Any rates you add can be edited or deleted at any time.

I hope this information helps.

Hello Dian,

I found your instruction but I can't find the "VAT" option on my Payment preferences section, as you can see from the screenshot attached:

Can you help me?

Thank you
