Setting Up Tax

Taxes in uStore are configured in the following locations:

● Tax Setup table (described in this section)
You can create taxes per country, province, ZIP code, and mark them as applicable for Subtotal Price, Recipient List Price, Shipping Price and Mailing Price. You can choose any combination of the available parameters.

● Tax Group table
Taxes must be assigned to Tax Groups. In the Tax Group table, you can create Tax Groups to which you can later assign the store products (see Setting Up the Tax Group Table).

● Edit Product page
In this page, the product is assigned to a Tax Group. By default, the products are assigned to a Default Tax Group. Assigning products to a different Tax Groups is used in case different taxes are applied to various product categories.

● Store Setup page
In this page you define, for a given store, if the tax will be included in the price and the format in which it will be displayed. If you choose to include the tax in the price, you must select the store’s global country. Only taxes applicable for the store’s global country will be taken into consideration during the price calculation (see Defining Tax Display and Tax Calculation).

The Tax Setup page is used to define the tax fee by indicating the countries (and provinces if applicable) to which you provide delivery. In addition, you may select if you wish to apply the tax to one of the following prices: Subtotal, Recipient List, Shipping or Mailing. uStore enables defining multiple taxes that can be applied simultaneously.
