Map the catalogue deliberately
Review products against the class definitions you use, then record the mapping in your commerce or source-profile workflow.
Tax-class context for commerce
VAT tax classes
Official rate sources are not designed around every merchant catalogue. VAT Engine provides stable, readable tax classes to make rate selection explicit in application code.
What this helps you do
Make product-tax assumptions visible, reviewable, and consistent across calculation and reporting workflows.
- Curated classes derived from official rate categories.
- Searchable public tax-class catalogue.
- Country-scoped preview information where available.
- Class assignment remains a business decision that VAT Engine does not make for you.
How to use it well
Do not equate a label with legal advice
A class makes an assumption visible; it does not establish that a product qualifies for a reduced rate or exemption.
Review changes over time
Revisit mappings when the product changes, a country is added, or the underlying rate and category context changes.
