You can easily configure your local sales tax requirements to collect sales tax for your ECommerce, Client Galleries, Form Payments, Scheduler, and Invoicing for your PhotoBiz account. This guide will walk you through the steps of creating a sales tax line to collect sales tax from your customer's payments and orders.
IMPORTANT NOTE
PhotoBiz Support cannot advise you on the proper sales tax rates for your area. It is important to check with a local tax expert to ensure that you are collecting the appropriate tax rates for online sales in the State/Province and Country that you are located in.
STEP ONE
Log into your PhotoBiz account and click on the ECommerce section on the left side menu in your PhotoBiz control panel.
STEP TWO
Mouse over the PAYMENT option at the top center of your control panel and click on TAXES in the drop down menu that appears.
STEP THREE
Click on the NEW TAX LINE button
STEP FOUR
Configure Your Sales Tax settings
You will be asked to enter in the following information to create your new tax line.
- Description: Name of the tax rate being charged. This will display on the order summary during the checkout process.
- Sales Tax Rate: Enter the percentage that you are required to charge for sales tax for your online sales.
- Country: Select the country that you wish to apply your tax rate to. Only customers who have this country will be charged this tax rate.
- State/Province: Select "ALL" to charge sales tax to all States or Provinces. Or select a State or Province to charge ONLY on orders placed in your specific selection.
Example: If you select North Carolina, ONLY those clients with North Carolina addresses will be charged the applicable sales tax. A client ordering in Florida WOULD NOT be charged sales tax.
- County Taxes (optional): Enter the county name below and the customer will be charged taxes when located in the indicated county. Once you add a county, be sure to add taxes for all counties you cover in that state.
- Apply in addition to any applicable tax: Select "Yes" to charge this sales tax in addition to any State and/or County level sales taxes that are already in place.
- Apply Sales Tax to Shipping: Select "Yes" to include shipping your taxable subtotal.
Click add tax line when the settings are complete. You can follow the steps above to add as many tax lines as you wish to cover all of your online sales tax needs.
