Taxes-included wording

How we measure it

For Türkiye, EU countries, the UK, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand we look for a “VAT included” style phrase in the product page and homepage text. Present passes, absent fails; other markets are not applicable.

What the result page says

These are the sentences in the test result; “…” is replaced by what we found on your site.

• PassedThe page states that prices include taxes.
• FailedNo wording was found saying prices include taxes (e.g. “incl. VAT”).

How to fix it

Target: The price states that taxes are included, and shipping cost is visible before the cart.

How to verify it yourself

The product page should say “incl. VAT” or similar next to the price.

Fix it with an AI coding agent

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor or another coding agent working on your store’s code. Review the change before you deploy it.

You are working on my online store. Specoria’s agent readiness test checks the item below. Fix it so AI shopping agents can read the store and act on it.

## 1. Taxes-included wording (price_transparency)
Target: The price states that taxes are included, and shipping cost is visible before the cart.
Reference: https://specoria.com/method/checks/price-transparency/

## Rules
- First look through the codebase and tell me which files or templates you will change, before editing anything.
- Change only what these checks need, and keep the visible page and the structured data saying the same thing.
- Never invent prices, stock, shipping or return terms, reviews or product identifiers (GTIN): take them from the store’s real data or ask me.
- Don’t block or slow down real visitors and don’t add tracking.
- After deploying, run the free test again at https://specoria.com/ to verify the fix.
