Please note: With this new feature, Wevo helps operators define VAT/Tax rates in the system. The operator is solely responsible for setting the rates properly, verifying the results, reporting tax data to the relevant authorities, and making tax payments accurately and on time.

Wevo holds no responsibility for such activities.

How to set up the Tax/VAT?

Tax/VAT is set per rate plan. This allows maximal flexibility to the operator.

To set it, please follow the next steps:

  1. Navigate to the Operator Settings.

  2. Click “Rate plans” on the left menu.

  3. Turn on Tax/VAT and set the desired percentage.
