How do I assign tax / GST to a product?

Tax-Inclusive Pricing in StoreYug

In Indian retail and social commerce, customers expect all-inclusive pricing (MRP). StoreYug uses a tax-inclusive calculation model, ensuring that the price shown to the customer is the exact amount they pay.

How the Automatic GST Breakdown Works

When you assign a tax rate (e.g. 18% GST) to a ₹500 product, StoreYug automatically computes:

• Customer Payable Price: ₹500.00
• Base Amount (Excluding Tax): ₹423.73
• GST Tax Amount (18%): ₹76.27

This breakdown is automatically detailed on your digital receipts, POS printouts, and tax reports without requiring manual math.

How to Assign Tax to a Product

1. Open the product in your Products catalog.
2. Locate the Tax Rate (Optional) dropdown field.
3. Select your applicable GST slab (e.g. GST 0%, GST 5%, GST 12%, GST 18%, or GST 28%).
4. Optionally enter your product's HSN / SAC Code.
5. Review the live breakdown boxes: Default Base (₹), Tax (₹), and Total (₹).
6. Click Save Product.

Why is the Tax Rate field not visible on my product form?

If you do not see the Tax Rate dropdown or HSN/SAC Code fields on your product form, it is because your store has not configured a Tax ID yet or your plan doesn't include tax management:

1. Entered During Store Setup: When you first create your store, you can enter your registered 15-digit GSTIN during the Setup Wizard (Billing & Tax step).
2. Add or Update Anytime in Store Settings: If you skipped it or registered for GST later, you can add it at any time! Simply navigate to Store Settings in your dashboard sidebar, scroll to Tax ID / GSTIN, enter your 15-character GSTIN, and click Save Changes.
3. Subscription Feature: Ensure your active subscription plan supports the GST Tax Management feature.
