Taxes

As long as tax burden differs from state to state and, what is more, tax rates can vary greatly within a country, it is very important to have a flexible tax rate system in your store. With "Lion Web Shop", you will have the ability to organize such a system and set any tax rate of your choice. "Lion Web Shop" already supports U.S. Sales Tax, European VAT, Australian GST, Canadian PST/GST/HST and many other tax systems.

Taxes can be charged as a fixed amount or a percentage and are automatically applied to the order total at checkout. The software enables you to define different tax rates for different destinations (location zones), which is especially true for stores dealing with customers from all over the world.

Taxes can be applied both to shipping methods and products of the store. If there is only one tax defined in the store, it can be applied to all the products in one click. In case you need multiple taxes for different kinds of products, they can be easily created and applied to certain products.

The system can be configured to display taxes not only at checkout but on product pages as well. In this case both the regular price and the price with taxes will be shown at once. In addition, the system allows to exempt some user groups from taxes – they are customers and affiliates.
