Do you want different tax amounts to apply to Customers depending on their location? If so, this is possible by setting a specific tax value for Customers within your state/province or country. Taxes can also be configured for international visitors.

Here are the steps to set this up:

1. Create a new tax or edit an existing entry within the Taxes area (Manage > Ecommerce Setup > Taxes).
2. Open the Apply Tax To menu and choose from among Only customers within {your state/province}, Only customers within {your country}, and Only international customers.
3. Select Add/Update to confirm your selection.

When a Customer creates a booking, the Booking Form address field selections they make, such as Country or State/Province, dictate if a location tax applies.

 

You can only create taxes based on your location. You cannot set up taxes to apply to Customers outside your state/province unless it applies to everyone in your country, international visitors only or all Customers.
