Sales Tax Rates You are able to charge sales tax based on rates for a particular Country, State, County, or City. ![]() The sales tax rate used will be based on the information you input into the shopping cart system on this page. The shopping cart will then check the customer's information for their City, County, State, and Country. The shopping cart will use the "lowest common denominator" for the sales tax rate meaning if the customer's city matches a city put in below, it will use that tax rate for the customer's order. If the customer's city doesn't not match a city put it below, then the shopping cart will use the county tax rate. If the customer's county does not match put in below, then the shopping cart will use the state tax rate. If the customer's state does not match a state below, then it will use the country tax rate. If you do not enter a sales tax rate for a City or County, the system will use the state tax rate. Example: Let's say, United States has a 0% sales tax. California has a 8% sales tax. Californians in San Diego pay 9% (1% for the county) Californians in Vista pay 9.75% (.75% for the city) You would enter: Country Based Tax (USA) Leave blank State Based Tax State: California Tax Rate: 8% County Based Tax County: San Diego Tax Rate: 9% (note -- this will add an option for a customer to choose their county on the billing page) City Based Tax City: Vista Tax Rate: 9.75% Based on this information input into the system: If a customer from Vista, CA orders they would pay 9.75% for sales tax. If a customer from San Diego, CA orders they would pay 9% for sales tax. If a customer from Sacramento, CA orders they would pay 8% sales tax. If a customer from AZ orders they would pay 0% sales tax. |
