Sales Tax Rules

Sales Tax rules define the condition and amount of sales tax collected at the time of purchase. A retailer can choose to enable one or more sales tax rules for a product. The Tax Rules section lists all available Sales Tax Rules.

Tip: See Sales Tax Manager for more information about setting up sales tax rules.

Follow the steps below to assign the needed tax rules to a product.

Step	Action
1	From the Product Manager screen, click on the Sales Tax Rules link.
2	Identify the appropriate rule(s) for the product under the Tax Label column, and check the associated checkbox. Uncheck the box to remove the sales tax rule for a product. The State column identifies which order shipping state the rule applies. The Zip column identifies which order shipping zip code the rule applies. If the order shipping state matches, but the zip code does not, the sales tax rule does not apply. The Rate identifies the sales tax percentage used to calculate the sales tax amount.
3	Click the Update Tax Rules button when all rules for the product have been selected. Tip: Go to Products > Batch Product Update to apply tax rules in bulk.
