As part of the federal government’s economic stimulus package, the value-added tax (VAT) is to be temporarily reduced—beginning July 1, 2020, and ending December 31, 2020—as follows: 16 percent instead of 19 percent, and 5 percent instead of 7 percent for the reduced rate.
As an operator of an XONIC online store, these changes can be implemented quickly. You can manually apply these changes in your store under:
Settings > Country / Tax > Tax Rates
. In addition, for stores with an active support and update license, we offer the option to have this change:
- automatically via an update (available for all XONIC versions starting with V3)
- manually by our support team (available for all XONIC versions starting with V2)
- via a script that preserves the existing gross prices despite the tax rate change
- or manage the changes yourself via xoPort
To receive the automatic VAT update, you need a current Support & Update License. You can view the status of your license directly in the XONIC backend under Dashboard ⟶ News / Information. If your license has expired, you can renew it right here.

Please request the automatic VAT update by opening a ticket, sending an email, or contacting us by phone.
