On the currency’s detail page, select a new formatting from the drop-down list.
Click Save.

If you require a different formatting than the choices offered, you can manually change the formatting:

/* Currencies like ¤ -> 1200 ¤ */
case 2:

If you only know the retail price, but not the pre-tax price, simply fill in the Retail price with tax field and the Pre-tax retail price will be calculated automatically using the tax displayed in the Tax drop-down list.
You can plan a reduced price for a specific period of time, e.g., -15% for a one-week period.
