In many
eCommerce applications, appropriate sales tax must be applied to orders
shipped to the state in which the business in located. As such, tax rates
may be specified for each state. When a customer provides a shipping address,
any existing tax rates for his/her resident state will be applied to his
order automatically. If Tax Rate Options are not configured, no sales
tax will be charged. The dollar amount is calculated on the sub total
of the entire order, before shipping charges are added.
For international
tax rates, it is recommended that no state tax rates are applied. Use
a custom PHP shipping include to calculate and/or apply international
tax requirements for your country. (See Custom PHP Includes for more information)
