The following section describes the options for configuring tax in your store:
Tax Rate – Enter the Tax Rate that you want to charge on orders in your store. If you enter a value in this textbox, the store will charge a flat tax rate (i.e. 7.75) on customer orders in the store. This option only applies to “Charge Tax All States” and “Charge Tax in Taxable State List”.
Enable Tax Exempt by Role – This option allows you to select multiple roles to conditionally charge tax for. When you check this option the following role dropdown list will be displayed:
During checkout if the user is logged in and a member of the role you selected as Tax Exempt then the cart will not charge tax on the order, all other users will be charged tax as configured.
Tax Coupon and Discounts – This option is used to choose when to apply tax when a Discount or Coupon has been applied to the order.
