Choose the way to charge tax :

  • Shipping Address: Calculate tax based on where your products ship to.
  • Billing Address: Calculate tax based on where your customers receive invoices.


**Choose calculation (optional) : **

  • Products prices are inclusive of taxes - Display price would include the tax.
  • Charge tax on shipping rates - Shipping rate would be subjected to tax.


3. Tips:


Added to % federal tax


Country Tax = 6%,

Tax Rate = 5 %, it will be 5 % + 6 % = 11 %

Calculation as below :

Product price = $ 10.00

$10.00 * (6 % + 5 %) = $ 1.10

Total : $ 10 + $1.10 = $ 11.10


Instead of % federal tax - Charge the rate you set for the region instead of the country tax


Country Tax = 6 %,

Tax Rate = 5 %, it will charge 5 % instead of 6 % for the particular region

**Calculation as below: **

Product price = $ 10.00

$10.00 * 5 % = $ 0.50

Total : $ 10 + $ 0.50 = $ 10.50


Compounded on top of % federal tax - Add % on top of the country tax


Country Tax = 6 %,

Tax Rate = 5 %, it would charge 5% on top of the 6% tax amount.

**Calculation as below: **

Product price = $ 10.00

$10.00 * 6 % = $ 0.60

Add 5 % on top of 6 % : $ 0.60 * 5% = $ 0.03

Total : $ 10 + $ 0.60 + $ 0.03 = $ 10.63
