# Enable Sales Tax

beabee is able to charge VAT on membership fees and to display this throughout the entire registration process. If your membership fees are subject to VAT, you are on the safe side when it comes to billing.

To enable VAT: 

* Go to **Settings** and open the **General** tab. 
* Tick the box next to **Enable VAT**.

* Enter the VAT rate you want to apply or select it using the arrow keys. (You must decide for yourself which VAT rate is the right for you, as it depends on several factors and differs from country to country. If in doubt, talk to a tax consultant.)

* **Done!** The VAT rate is activated, will be displayed in the registration process and also transferred to Stripe for your accounting and invoices for members.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.beabee.io/help-center-english/payment/sales-tax/enable-sales-tax.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
