State/Province & Country Management & Taxation
Within the Orders & Payment function, there are several functions that help you manage states/provinces, countries and taxation. Taxation is controlled in two ways: on the product level by indicating whether a product is exempt from state/province and country taxes; and on the state/province and country levels by indication whether a particular locality charges tax and what that rate may be.
Localities are managed using the Manage States/Provinces and Manage Countries functions. Each state/province and country has several attributes:
Locality Name
The name of the state/province or country as it's displayed to the user.
Abbreviation
The abbreviation is the standard two letter state/province or country code that payment gateways use (in some cases) for their databases.
Tax Rate (Percentage)
The tax rate is the rate that the locality charges when taxes are applicable. If the rate is set to 0.000, tax is not applicable.
Shipping Taxable
Some localities charge tax on shipping and some do not. This attribute allows you to change whether taxes are calculated on shipping.
Apply Tax To Orders
The apply tax to orders attribute allows you to choose whether to charge tax on orders originating from that locality. Initially the program is set up not to charge tax in any localities.
