Sales tax settings allows you to specify what locations (TAX LOCATION) you are required to collect sales tax from. For example, if your company is located in California, you may be required to collect sales tax of 7.25% (TAX RATE) for certain items that you sell to customers in California. Interchange will determine at checkout, where your customer is located. It does this by checking the "ship to" information that they fill in. If the customer is located in a TAX LOCATION that you have specified, the amount of the order is multiplied by the TAX RATE that you have specified and is added to the cost of the products ordered. Some companies are required to collect sales tax in more than one state.

Once your catalog is installed, you will be able to easily add more locations using the Interchange administration tool. If you are not required to collect sales tax (please refer to the appropriate friendly, helpful taxing authority for your area), leave these fields blank.
