A tax jurisdiction is a geographical region to which you deliver goods. If, when you initially created your store, you based it on one of the sample store archives, default tax jurisdictions are set up for you.
Note: The sample store archives define the "World" jurisdiction, which cannot be deleted using the Tax notebook. If your specified country or region and state or province combinations do not match, the World jurisdiction is used instead.
To change the tax jurisdictions, do the following:
- Open WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
- From either the Store or Hub
menu,From the Store menu, select
Change Tax.
The Tax notebook opens. - From the left navigation frame, click Jurisdictions.
- To add a jurisdiction, do the following:
- From the Country/Region drop-down list, select a country or region.
- Use the State/Province drop-down list or field as follows:
- If you selected Canada, United States, or Japan as your country or region,
do one of the following:
- From the drop-down list, select a state or province for the chosen country or region.
- If one tax rate applies to the entire country or region, from the bottom of the list, select All.
- If you selected a country or region other than Canada, United States, or
Japan, do one of the following:
- From this field, type the name of the state or province for the chosen country or region.
- If the tax rate applies to the entire country or region, or if the country or region does not have states or provinces, leave this field blank.
- If you selected Canada, United States, or Japan as your country or region,
do one of the following:
- Click Add to add the combination of country or region and state to the Defined jurisdictions list.
- Repeat step 4 to add more tax jurisdictions.
- To delete a jurisdiction, select it from the Defined jurisdictions list box, then click Remove.
- Click OK to save your settings and exit.
Note: The Tax notebook allows you to create an unlimited number of tax jurisdictions; however, if you use more than 50 jurisdictions, you may find that the tax rates table, which is displayed on the Rates page, takes a long time to display.
