Each type of tax used in your store (for example, state, provincial, or federal), should have its own category.
If, when initially created, you based your store on one of the sample store archives, default tax categories are set up for you. To change tax categories, 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 Categories.
- To add a category, do the following:
- In the New tax category field, type the name of the tax
category.
Be careful when choosing the name of your tax category. You can remove the category if it has not been assigned to any products, but you cannot change the name of the tax category. - Select the tax type of the category. Each category must be either a sales tax or a shipping tax type. Sales tax is charged on the total amount of the order. Shipping tax is charged on the shipping charges for the total order.
- Select Include tax as display price if you want to include the tax
amount in the price that displays for the product. If you do not select this
option, the tax amount will display separately.
Important: In order to display the tax as a display price on your store page, your Site Administrator or store developer will have to make some changes to the store page. For more information, see "Displaying tax as part of the display price" in the Development online help. - Click Add. The tax category displays in the Defined tax categories list.
- Repeat step 4 to add more tax categories.
- In the New tax category field, type the name of the tax
category.
- To delete a category, select the category, then click Remove.
- Click OK to save your settings and exit.
