Taxes in CRM

In Bitrix24, you can set up tax rates for products and services. The system calculates taxes automatically and applies them to deals, invoices, and other documents. Customers see the total amount with tax included, and your team avoids manual errors.

Only Bitrix24 administrators and users with permission to change CRM settings can manage tax rates.

      Locations

Location-dependent tax (sales tax)

To use this option, first add locations.

Add a tax:

  1. Open Taxes in CRM settings.
  2. Click Add tax.
  3. Enter a name and description, then click Apply.

Set up tax rates:

  1. Open the Tax rates tab.
  2. Click Add tax rate.
  3. Enter the rate and select a location.
  4. Mark the rate as Active.
  5. Enable Include tax in price (optional) .
  6. Save your changes.

When you create an invoice or estimate, specify the customer’s location.

If a tax rate exists for that location, Bitrix24 applies it automatically.


Item-dependent tax (VAT)

Add a VAT rate:

  1. Click Add VAT rate.
  2. Set up the VAT parameters:
    • Name: For example, VAT 10%.
    • Rate: Enter the percentage.
    • Active: Enable this option to use the rate in deals and documents.
  3. Make sure the rate is marked as Active, then click Save.

You can choose how VAT is applied:

  • Included in price: The tax is already part of the product price.
  • Added on top: The system adds tax to the product price.

Example (10% VAT, $10,000 price):

  • Included: $909.09 is already part of the total.
  • Not included: Total becomes $11,000.

When creating an invoice or estimate, go to the Products tab and select a VAT rate for each item. You can also enable the Tax included in price option.

If you use item-dependent tax, the default VAT rate is 20%. You can change it in several places.

Inventory management settings:

  1. Go to CRM > Inventory > Inventory management.
  2. Open Settings > Common parameters.
