Overview | Tax Rule Details for Items


Overview

Tax rules may be created that apply to all items or only specific products. When an item-specific tax rule is applied to any product, any global rules previously in effect will be disabled.

The ecommerce catalog system is designed to accomodate a variety of possible tax situations. This section provides a guide to applying any tax rule to actual items that are used in the online shopping system. This would only be necessary if an item requires different tax rules than other items sold from the Web site.

The item tax rule administration page is used to view, remove, add, activate, or deactivate item specific tax rules.
