If you are using WooCommerce as your e-commerce solution, then you should be using the Automated Taxes<\/span> option.  This option automatically calculates sales taxes for your customers when they go through the checkout process.  Having the taxes automatically processed for you is a huge timesaver, but there may be exceptions that you need to specify.  In order to do this, you can create Additional Tax Classes<\/span> through the WooCommerce interface.<\/p>\n

NOTE: The instructions in this article require that the <\/span>Enable Taxes<\/span> option is selected and active. The <\/span>Enable Taxes<\/span> option can be found in WooCommerce Settings under the General Tab.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding Tax Classes<\/h3>\n

When the Automated Taxes option is enabled, then all sales taxes are automatically calculated for your customer during checkout.  However, if you need to change the taxes for a specific region, then you can do so by adding an additional tax class.  Tax classes are based on location.  You can apply a tax rate for everyone by assigning them to a single location (typically your shop address), or you can create geographic locations and then change the tax rate for that location(s).  You can create spreadsheets of locations based on Post\/Zip Code and then import them into WooCommerce using a CSV-formatted file.  Creating tax classes can be extensive and you may be required to consult with a tax professional to properly account for a region’s required taxes.<\/p>\n

Adding a Tax Class<\/h3>\n

When you add a tax class you will see it listed at the top of the Tax tab in the WooCommerce Settings.  Follow the directions below to add a new tax class.  Note that you can set up one tax class label per line.<\/p>\n
