This section contains:
  • Tax calculation
    Before you create taxes and tax classes, you must get familiar with the logic of calculating taxes.
  • Create tax classes
    You need to create tax classes, if one tax has different value for different goods or services.
  • Create taxes
    Create taxes, define how taxes are determined, and define tax rate percentages.
  • Edit taxes
    Edit tax properties or delete a tax altogether.
  • Import and export taxes
    To easily manage taxes without having to create or edit one tax at a time, you can export and import taxes and their definitions using a CSV file.
  • For developers: Tax classes
    Tax classes are applied to an order via the taxes objects. In the tax object, you specify value for the tax class. This allows you to create multiple taxes and to assign different value for each tax class depending on the order’s location.
  • For developers: Taxes
    Taxes allow you to define rates for the available tax classes for a specific country. Use the Tax class to perform all common tax operations programmatically.
  • For developers: Link products to a tax class
