Net or gross prices

Bulido lets you choose how prices appear to the client on a sent quote: net or gross. The choice affects how prices render on the PDF and in the email body sent to the client.

Where to change it

Under Settings, in the Quote Settings section, you'll find Quote price display with two options:

  • Net (default): prices excluding VAT.
  • Gross: prices with VAT included.

The choice is the default for new quotes.

What to pick

  • Private clients more naturally read gross prices. That's what they actually pay.
  • Business clients (VAT payers) usually prefer net pricing — they reclaim VAT on their side.
  • Mixed clientele: pick whichever is more common in your work. Internally Bulido always tracks both net and gross, so this is just about presentation.

Tie-in with VAT

The price-display setting is tied to your VAT-payer status (the Taxes section in company settings):

  • You are a VAT payer: you can choose net or gross.
  • You are not a VAT payer: Bulido automatically forces net prices (there's no VAT to add, so showing gross would be misleading). If you previously had gross selected, the setting flips to net the moment you turn off the VAT-payer switch.

That's a safeguard. A non-VAT business sending a quote with "gross prices" wouldn't make sense.

What's next

If you're changing your VAT-payer status or VAT rate, see Set up your company before the first quote. Once your display mode is set, you can check the email before sending the quote.
