The Government wants to increase the low VAT rate from 6% to 9%.
The intention is that this increase is to start on 1 January 2019.

Adding a new tax (9%) item on System > Tax is step one
How can I filter all products assigned to tax 6% and bulk change them to 9%?

I want to keep the tax item 6%

Hi,

You don't need to bulk change anything.
Once you've created the tax rate of 9%, just edit the tax rules in System>Taxes for that 9% tax rate and set an end date to 31/12/2018 at 23h59
And then duplicate these tax rules, remove the end date and instead set a start date to 1/1/2019 at 0h00. Finally, in these tax rules change the tax rate to the 6% tax rate.
That way, it will automatically switch to the new tax rate at the correct hour without you having to do anything manually.

That sounds easy... thank you

Hello perfectwebteam..

Did you create a new tax category? or did you add the new tax rate in the same tax categorie?
Is it possible to add a screenshot?

Thanks..

Hi,

You should create a new tax rate as I was saying in my message: www.hikashop.com/forum/taxes/896125-low-...-01-2019.html#299943
You don't have to change anything with your tax categories.
