Before you start to set up your Taxes, give some thought to zones and product types you want to charge for a tax.

Step 1 Add tax zones

  • Navigate to [any Joobi product / eCommerce] >> Shipping >> Zones
  • Click New to create a Zone and select the countries that belongs to that particular zones

Warning

You cannot create 2 or more Zones with the same exact destinations, each Zones must have a unique country assignment. For instance "Italy" is assigned to all available Zones, this won't work since the system won't be able to detect.

To be better understand, let's take an example;

Blublu Store is a US store selling handbags and is located in Texas. They are selling their products to a worldwide visitors.
However Blublu wants to charge 15% sales tax to any visitors from Texas.

The setup:

Zone setup

Zone 1 - Texas only

Tax Setup

Tax 1 - Zone 1 (15%)


So when a visitor tries to checkout a product from UK, he will not be charge for 15% tax but 0% tax. And the same tax rates applies to a visitor from California.

Reminder

Create only the Zones for locations you want to charge for TAX. Unassigned locations are automatically considered not taxable zone.

Zone 1 - Texas

zone1-states

Step 2 Add tax rates

  • Navigate to [any Joobi product / eCommerce] >> Shipping >> Tax
  • Click New to create a Tax
  • Select the correct Zone that corresponds to the tax rate

If you have 3 tax zones, then you need to create 3 Tax rate options.

Every country, states and provinces has different tax laws, so make sure to find out which rules and regulations applies VAT in your area.

Additionally, depending on your store's location there are different rates for items that fall under a different tax rate than your normal taxable items.

An example of this type of product would be automobiles. This has their own tax laws and rates versus a books or newspapers. If your products fall under a different tax rates then you need to create Types to be able to assign a tax rates base on the product types (see below image). Refer to Product Types article to learn how to set it up.
