Setting up a location-specific tax
Back to topDo 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:
- Create a new tax or edit an existing entry within the Taxes area (Manage > Ecommerce Setup > Taxes).
- 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.
- 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. |
