Define shipping tax codes
A shipping tax code is a name for a grouping of shipping taxes that is applied to the same products. For example, all taxes applicable to shipping to a certain region could be grouped under a single tax code called Regional shipping tax. Then, you could assign the Regional shipping tax code to each product being shipped to that region.
Procedure
- Open WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
- From either the Store or Hub menu, select Change Tax. The Tax notebook opens.
- From the left navigation frame, click Shipping Tax.
- To add a code:
- In the New shipping tax code field, type the name of the shipping tax code. Be careful when choosing the name of the tax code. While you can remove a tax code, you cannot change the name of the tax code at a later time.
- Click Add. The tax category is displayed in the Defined shipping tax codes list.
- To set a default shipping tax code, from the Defined shipping tax codes list, select a tax code, then click Set as Default. Default shipping tax codes are assigned to all products that are not currently assigned to a tax code.
- To delete a code, in the Defined shipping tax codes list, select the code, then click Remove.
- Click OK to save the settings and exit.
