Taxation
Tax Authorities
A tax authority represents a single tax (local, city, county, or state) that the Print Shop must collect.
You can designate companies and departments within companies as tax exempt. For more
information, see To add a company and To create a department .
To create a new tax authority
1. Go to Administration > Taxes.
2. On the Tax Authorities tab, click the Create New button.
3. On the new row for the tax authority, enter the following information for the new tax authority:
• Description—a name that identifies this tax for reporting. This is not displayed to web site
users.
• Tax Rate—the rate, as a percentage. Each item in the order is taxed at this rate.
•
Authority Code—Any identification number or code that facilitates the configuration or
reporting.
4. Click OK to create the tax authority. It would appear in the form’s list view.
Tax Exempt Status
The system ships with a “Tax Exempt” tax authority that is assigned a zero tax rate. If your site requires
tracking additional taxes with either zero tax rates or tax-exempt status, you can define your own
authorities (with different names or internal codes) as needed.
To modify properties of existing tax authorities
1. In the tax authority list view: Go to Administration > Taxes.
2. On the Tax Authorities tab, select an existing tax authority (by clicking its radio button).
3. Click Edit.
