Taxes

This is the section where you can review, add, and edit your tax rules and rates. Click on 'edit' to modify an existing rule or 'add' to create a new one. You will see a pop-up menu with all the configurable options for a Tax Rate. Note that if a field is left blank, then that field will have no effect during tax calculations.


Setting Description
Tax Code

Identification tax code for this tax.

Tax Name

Name for this tax (displayed to the user). Please note that if two taxes share a name, they will be aggregated together in the order lines.

Tax Rate (%)

Tax rate to charge customers, calculated as a percentage of the order total cost. It can be set to zero in order to serve as a tax exemption.

Flat Tax Rate

A flat tax value, which will be multiplied by the number of eligible products and added to the customer's tax total.

Eligible products are the ones that trigger the tax rule, i.e. a product SKU held in the below field. Only product quantities will be used to determine flat taxes, not shipping or handling.

Enabled

Toggle this switch on or off to enable or disable the tax rate.

Select the set of product categories that will receive this rate. Only orders containing products in these categories will have the tax rate apply to them.
