How to configure sales tax in CubeCart

Open your web browser and navigate to your CubeCart admin login page. Enter your username and password to log in.

Once logged in, go to the left-hand menu and click on Store Settings. From the dropdown, select Taxes.

In the Taxes section, click on the Tax Classes tab. Click the Add Class button to create a new tax class. Enter a name for the tax class (e.g., “Standard Tax”) and click Save.

Next, click on the Tax Zones tab. Click the Add Zone button to create a new tax zone. Enter a name for the tax zone (e.g., “United States”) and select the countries and regions that apply to this tax zone. Click Save.

Now, click on the Tax Rates tab. Click the Add Rate button to create a new tax rate. Fill in the required fields:

• Name: Enter a name for the tax rate (e.g., “State Sales Tax”).
• Class: Select the tax class you created earlier.
• Zone: Select the tax zone you created earlier.
• Rate: Enter the tax rate percentage (e.g., 7.25).

Click Save to apply the tax rate.

To ensure the correct tax rate is applied to your products, you need to assign the tax class to each product:

• Go to Inventory and select Products.
• Edit an existing product or add a new product.
• In the product details, locate the Tax Class dropdown and select the appropriate tax class.
• Click Save to apply the changes.

Perform a test checkout to ensure that the sales tax is being calculated correctly. Verify that the tax is applied based on the customer’s location and the configured tax rates.
