Taxes Print Topic

In PDshopPro, you can specify how tax will be charged.

Global Tax Rate
You can specify a tax rate (percentage) that will be applied to all orders, regardless of address. Enter a numeric value, for example 8.5 if you want to charge 8.5%.

Local Taxes
Local taxes are associated with the State (province) & Country setup in PDAdmin. You can specify a Tax rate based on the customer's address. For example, you may want to charge tax on orders shipped to your own State/Province. Enter the tax rate on the State/Country setup page. In PDAdmin, local taxes are determined by the order's "Shipping" Address. There is only one tax field in PDshopPro, so on the order all taxes are combined. For example, if you have a global tax rate of 5% and a state tax rate of 1%, the total tax charged will be 6%.

Taxable Items
You can specify if an item is "taxable" in the item's setup page. By default, all items are considered taxable. If you have a specific item in your store that is tax-exempt, locate the item and select "No" in the Taxable field.
