Step 1: Turn On Tax

To start, go to StoreEngine → Settings → Tax and turn on Enable tax calculations.

Step 2: Set How Prices Work

First, decide how prices work:

Prices entered with tax and Rounding options highlighted
Prices entered with tax (1): choose Yes, I will enter prices inclusive of tax or No, I will enter prices exclusive of tax.
Rounding (2): choose Round tax individually (default) or Round tax at total/subtotal level.

Step 3: Choose Where Tax Is Calculated and Shown

Then set where tax is worked out and how it is shown:

The Shipping tax class setting is covered in the Shipping Tax guide.

Step 4: Add a Tax Rate

Scroll to Store Tax (the rates list) and click Add Tax Rate (1). The list shows each rate with its Country, State/Province, Tax Rate (%), Tax Name and Priority (2).

Tax Rate Fields
