Saleor: VAT country taxes not available ?

[mthnglac]

I can not get the Turkey on the tax rate. I've been a member of VatLayer, but VatLayer.com doesn't have tax rates for my country and even takes my money during the development process. Is there another way to solve this situation, another option?

You can create VAT & TaxRates manually for all taxes you need, take a look at https://github.com/mirumee/django-prices-vatlayer which is used for handling taxes in Saleor

I don't know exactly how to do it. VAT Customer service said:
"Unfortunately, our API only supports European Union countries. " 🤷🏻‍♂️

@mthnglac yes, only European countries are supported by VAT Layer.

You can do something like this inside Django (I believe you can run this inside the django shell: ./manage.py shell):

from django_prices_vatlayer.models import VAT

data = {"country_name":"Turkey","standard_rate":20,"reduced_rates":{"foodstuffs":10,"books":10,"pharmaceuticals":10}}

VAT.objects.update_or_create(
    country_code=country_code, defaults={'data': data})

Just remove the unneeded rates and change the standard rate to the Turkey's.

Here are the available reduced rates available (you most likely need none, so you can just do data = {"country_name":"Turkey","standard_rate":20,"reduced_rates":{}):

0 | "accommodation"
-- | --
1 | "admission to cultural events"
2 | "admission to entertainment events"
3 | "admission to sporting events"
4 | "advertising"
5 | "agricultural supplies"
6 | "baby foodstuffs"
7 | "bikes"
8 | "books"
9 | "childrens clothing"
10 | "domestic fuel"
11 | "domestic services"
12 | "e-books"
13 | "foodstuffs"
14 | "hotels"
15 | "medical"
16 | "newspapers"
17 | "passenger transport"
18 | "pharmaceuticals"
19 | "property renovations"
20 | "restaurants"
21 | "social housing"
22 | "water"
23 | "wine"

We are planning to add the options to allow storefront owners to add custom tax rates per country and type. But it won't happen yet (#2436).

this doesn't enable the option to change taxes on a product type also it doesnt apply the standard tax rate defined
