Managing Taxes

Taxes


Taxes are a complex subject, which should be fully understood as it can = have a significant impact on your product prices or your shipping fees. Whi= le this user-guide is not meant to teach all the ins-and-outs of taxes, we = will try our best to give you pointers.

Taxes are a "compulsory contribution to state revenue, levied by the= government on workers' income and business profits or added to the cost of= some goods, services, and transactions". In short, every product you = sell is subject to sales taxes, which depend on your state's tax laws. In e= ffect, you contribute to your state or government functioning (public goods= and services) with a percentage of all your sales, as defined by local tax= rates.

There are hosts of tax rates in the World, and they vary considerably fr= om one country to another, and even within a single country if it has feder= al states (USA, Germany, Spain, Russia...). You should therefore make sure = to strictly conform to your country's tax laws, and even those of your stat= e or town if they apply to you. Check with your local tax representative as= soon as possible in order to get all the official details.


By default in PrestaShop, a tax applies to all countries/states/zones. I= f order to apply a specific tax rate for a single country or a set of count= ries (and not some others), you must create a tax rule. The tax rule is the= n applied on a per-product basis, during the creation of the product ("Pric= es" tab).

You cannot directly apply a tax to a product; you can only apply tax rul= es. Therefore, you must first register all relevant taxes, and then create = a tax rule for that tax in order to specify the countries where the tax app= lies, and finally set the tax rule to the product.
