Tax Settings Affecting Checkout Fee Calculations

  • Last Updated: May 4, 2021
  • Compatible Version: 8.311

We’ve added two new settings you can use to determine how and when to collect taxes when you use a Checkout Fee.

Fee is Taxable: When enabled, taxes are calculated on the checkout fee and the subtotal. Both the checkout fee and subtotal are taxed.

Apply Fee to Taxes: When enabled, taxes are calculated only on the subtotal. Both the subtotal and the taxes are used to calculate the checkout fee. Taxes are not applied to the checkout fee.

If both Fee is Taxable and Apply Fee to Taxes are disabled, taxes are calculated on the pre-tax subtotal. The checkout fee is calculated on the pre-tax subtotal and is added in to calculate the final total.

Enable Checkout Fee Tax Settings
  1. From Home, navigate to Settings > Account > Checkout Fee tab.
  2. Enable the appropriate tax settings. You cannot enable both Fee is Taxable and Apply Fee to Taxes. You can disable both.
  3. Tap or click Save to save your changes.
    • Note: To calculate taxes on any Checkout Fees, you must also enable Checkout Fees in the appropriate tax groups. From Home, navigate to Settings > Tax Group Settings > and enable Checkout Fee in the appropriate Tax Groups.
