Adding Tax Rates

You use the Tax Rates module in Commerce Server Business Desk to add tax rates for different countries/regions and states/provinces.

Notes

• Country/region and state/province codes must be set up before you can add tax rates. For more information about adding country/region and state/province codes, see Adding Country/Region Codes and Adding State/Province Codes.
• Tax rates set for individual states/provinces override any tax rate set for all the states/provinces of that country/region.
• You must use the Publish Order Codes module to update your site after you have added a tax rate. For more information about publishing order codes, see Publishing Order Codes on Your Web Site.
