Tax Settings

Tax settings determine when and how your currently configured taxes are applied.

Prerequisites

• You must have administrator access to use this feature

To Configure Tax Settings:

1. Log into your DecoNetwork Website.
2. Browse to Admin > Settings > Taxes.

   Select Tax Settings.

   

   

   The tax settings are displayed in the main work area.

3. Configure the settings as required.

   General Settings

   This group of settings lets you set which additional products and services your defined taxes will be apply to.

   
   • Apply Tax To Shipping: Ticking this checkbox will include taxes in the calculated shipping costs.
   • Apply Tax To Rush Order Fees: Ticking this checkbox will add taxes any rush order fees, if applied.
   • Apply Tax To Digitizing: Ticking this checkbox will add taxes to the calculated digitizing costs.
   • Apply Tax To Screen Setup Fees: Ticking this checkbox will add taxes to any applied screen setup fees.
   • Apply Tax To Artwork Job: Ticking this checkbox will add taxes to the calculated artwork job costs.
   • Apply Tax To Payment Surcharges: Ticking this checkbox will add taxes to payment surcharges. NOTE: Taxes will be applied separately from the surcharge.
   • Apply Coupon Discounts to Tax Amount: Ticking this checkbox will apply a coupon discount to an order's tax amount. If unticked, customers would still need to pay taxes in full, even with a 100% coupon discount. NOTE: Taxes are always calculated based on the pre-discount item price.

     Click on the Default Taxes link to set which taxes are applicable for a particular item. The link will only be available if the item's checkbox is ticked.

     The Select taxes to apply popup is displayed.

     

     Select an option by clicking on its radio button:

     • Apply default taxes: select this option if you want the product/service to use all system taxes as configured under Admin > Settings > Taxes > Current Taxes.
     • Specify taxes: select this option if you want to disable specific taxes for the product/service.
   • Fixed value coupons already include tax: This setting determines whether the tax is factored into the discount amount for fixed dollar value coupons. When ticked, the tax is subtracted from the coupon’s value, so the total discount (including tax) remains the same. When unticked, the coupon value is applied before tax, and tax is calculated separately, leading to a higher total discount after tax.

     Example: $100 coupon with 10% tax

     • Option enabled:
       Order discount: $90.91
       Tax discount: $9.09
       Total discount after tax: $100.

     • Option not enabled:
       Order discount: $100
       Tax discount: $10
       Total discount after tax: $110.

   • Item totals include taxes during checkout: Tick this checkbox to include tax as part of the individual items instead of a single tax entry at the end of the order.

     Note: When taxes are displayed against items, the coupon discount will also reflect tax, as the deducted amount includes tax.

   Tax Calculated Against Customer's

   This section lets you choose whether the tax will be calculated based on the customer's billing address or shipping address.

   

   Select the option which complies with the legislation of your region. Refer to your accountant's advice if you are not sure.

   Tax Calculated From Company's

   Select either Dispatch details or Company details to determine what local taxes apply to your product sales if the location of dispatch and company are different. Refer to your accountant's advice if you are unsure which to set.

   

   Taxes to include in listing prices

   Taxes are automatically calculated and applied by DecoNetwork at checkout based on the location of the purchaser. However, it is mandatory in some locations for some taxes to be included in the listed sales prices.

   Tick the Show website listing prices with tax already included checkbox if you want taxes to be included in the listed sales price of products on your website.

   

   All the currently configured taxes will be displayed. Tick the checkboxes of all taxes that you want to be included in the listed sales price of products on your website.

   

   Tax notice

   The Notice field in this section lets you specify a message that appears on your website informing your customers about the taxes that you collect. You can also choose where the notice is displayed.

   The tax notice will only be displayed if you specify a message.
