As Countr operates in many countries, business rules may differ or vary by economic region. Here is the summary of the terms on our cart:

A reduction of the retail price, either by percentage or a fixed number, that is applied to a product.
​

A reduction of the retail price, either by percentage or a fixed number, that is applied to all the products in the cart.
​

A percentage increase that is applied to the retail price of a product category, set by the governing entity under which the business is listed.

For example, the standard value-added tax (VAT) rate in the Netherlands is 21%, whereas the reduced VAT rate is 9%, and some products are not taxed. Within the Netherlands, the tax varies according to the product category. Across different countries, the tax varies according to the relevant tax authority.
​

The value price of all the products in the cart, before tax has been applied, and after cart-level and product-level discounts have been applied. This number naturally varies by product, but it does not vary by region or country for the same product, unless the company practices price discrimination.
​

The subtotal, after tax has been applied. This is the price that the buyer pays, given the tax authority under which the sale was made.
