Set Shopping Cart Checkout Tax Rate

The shopping cart checkout tax rate can be set inside Tax Rate field. Change the value from 0 to any positive percentage to apply checkout tax. Tax calculation is disabled if tax is set to zero.

The tax will be calculated as a percentage of product price total multiplied by ordered quantity: order_total * tax_rate.

You can check the Tax is already included in price checkbox if you enter the product prices with tax already applied. In such case the tax calculation will be: order_total – (order_total / (1 + tax_rate)).

The tax round feature is there to help tax implementation in various countries. Set the tax round according to your country regulations. E.g. set tax round setting to 1 to round the tax to whole dollar.

Tax Label

The default tax label is Tax. Change it to any desired tax label e.g. VAT.
