Taxes are a key part of the total price a person has to pay for a product. By submitting accurate tax information for your Shopping ads and free listings, you ensure that you are displaying correct total prices to online shoppers.
You’ve received this notification because the product prices you provided in your product data and on your website are missing value added tax (VAT) for one or more of your products. The prices submitted in your product data and displayed on your website should be a total price inclusive of value added tax (VAT).
You should have received an email asking you to update your product data by a certain date so that the values in your data are consistent with those on your landing page.
For products targeting all countries (except for the United States and Canada), provide the product price, including any value-added tax (VAT) or Goods and Services Tax (GST), in the price-relevant attributes and ensure that the landing page price matches the price in your product data. Don’t use the tax [tax] attribute.
