This is our recommended settings for the United States’ stores. You can also use it for other countries which follow the tax system or style of US. If you want to find more information about tax policy, please contact expert.
Notice: According to current US tax law, you need to collect taxes from where you have ongoing concern/interest (physical stores, headquarters, distribution centers, etc). If you have numbers of stores in many countries/states in your countries, or if the revenue of your store exceeds ~2 million dollars a year, we suggest you use a 3rd party tax provider, because there are many things to manage like tax zones and rules.
- Please contact with tax experts for certain information if you want to make any decision about tax problems.
