Manage Tax rate for your Store

• From the Dashboard (1) of the studio, go to the Store (2) section.

• Click on Taxes (3) option from where you can manage the Tax Rates (4) of your store.

Alternatively, you can use studio’s search function to navigate to the Tax Rates page.

• Enter Store Taxes (1) in the Search Bar.
• From the related results, click on the Store Taxes option (2) under Studio Links. 

By default, there would be an everywhere else tax rate list that will be applied to all the countries, if there is no country-specific tax rate available.

You can easily edit it by clicking on the There Dot (1) icon and Edit (2) button.

Add a new Tax Rate

• On the Taxe Rates page, click on the + Add Tax Rate (1) button to create a new tax rate. 

 

• You will see a popup where you can select the Country (2) and specify a Tax Rate (3).
• You would also see options to Apply Tax (4) on shipping, digital downloads or services. You can select all the options also. 
• Hit the Save button (5) to save the new tax rate list. 

In the next step, you will see the new tax rate. Now add state/region-based rates (in case of the US and Canada) to override the global tax rate, if you want to. 

• On clicking on Add a state/region tax rate, you will see a popup where you can select a State/Region (1) and set the Tax Rate (2).
• You can apply this override tax either in addition to the country (federal) tax or separately (3).
  That would mean if the country tax is 12% and state tax (i.e., 3%) is added to the country tax then the final tax rate would be 15% for that particular state.
  Or if the state tax is not added to the country tax, then the final tax rate would be 3% for that particular state.       
• You would also see an option to Apply Tax (4) on shipping or digital downloads or services.
• Hit the Save button (5) to save the new state rate. 

• After adding all state tax overrides, the final tax rate would look like this.
• You can Edit (1) or Delete (2) any rate from the settings icon next to it.
