Tax classes

Top Previous Next

You can manage tax classes at Kentico CMS Desk -> Tools -> E- commerce -> Configuration -> Tax classes.

Tax classes represent a customizable system that allows you to configure taxes paid for goods. You can specify different tax classes with different rates for each country. Then you apply these taxes to particular products.

Every tax class has the following properties:

•	Tax class display name - friendly name displayed to users

•	Tax class code name - code name used by developers in the code

•	Zero tax if Tax ID is supplied - indicates if the tax should be calculated as zero (0) if the customer enters the Tax ID. The Tax ID is only displayed during the purchase process if the Configuration -> Store Settings -> Show Tax registration ID field box is checked.

On the Countries and States tab, you can set the value for particular countries (the country is recognized based on the billing address). The tax value can be either percentage (by default) or it can be a flat fee. If both country and state tax are specified, only the state tax is used.
