How to specify tax in Gmail Schema.org markup?

Question

According to this documentation I can specify tax with priceSpecification. And syntax must be for example something like this (delivery charge example):

"priceSpecification": [
    {
      "@type": "DeliveryChargeSpecification",
      "price": "10.00",
      "priceCurrency": "USD"
    }
]

The only problem is that there is no documentation about which @type for the "tax" must be specified, like in this example with delivery charge DeliveryChargeSpecification.

I tried to find it there and on Schema.org with no success. Any suggestions how is possible to specify tax charge information with Gmail markup?

Answer 1

The vocabulary Schema.org provides three sub-types for the PriceSpecification type:

• DeliveryChargeSpecification
• PaymentChargeSpecification
• UnitPriceSpecification

Unless one of these applies in your case, you should use the parent type, PriceSpecification.

(If it’s about a price that includes VAT, you can use the corresponding type and its valueAddedTaxIncluded property, which Google seems to support for their email markup.)
