– The name of the tax rate
– The rate (in percentage)
– The country where the tax rate applies
– The province or state where the tax rate applies
Once you’ve provided all the information, click on the Save button.
Now that you’ve configured your tax settings, Shopify will automatically calculate the sales tax for your products.
