On this page, store administrators can set up tax rates based on the state/province the customer registers with. Taxes can also be based on the countryor the zip codecustomers specify.
If multiple levels of taxes are set up (ie state and zip code), the customer will be charged the cumulative amount.
To change the tax rates for a state, click the State/Province name, enter the desired values for each tax class, and click Save to save the changes.
