The United States has a complex system of sales taxes, with rates varying by state, county, and city. This can make determining your customers’ correct sales tax rate difficult.
Shopify can help you determine the correct sales tax rate to charge by using the geolocation features built into the platform. When customers enter their shipping address, Shopify will automatically calculate the correct sales tax rate based on the location data.
You can also set custom sales tax rates for specific products or regions.
For example, if you have a product that is only taxable in certain states, you can set up a custom tax rate for those states. Or, if you have a region where you want to charge a different sales tax rate than the rest of the country, you can set up a custom rate for that region.
