### 5.9. Tax Rates

mambo-phpShop has some tax calculation configuration capabilities. Details on configuring tax calculations on your site can be found above under "Configuration".

There are two Tax modes available in mambo-phpShop: Based on vendor address and Based on shipping address. Depending on which option you select, you should configure Tax Rates for the locale of each vendor as entered in the "Vendor Information Form" (described above), or for each country or state you plan to have customers from (that you wish to calculate taxes for).

#### Adding Tax Rates

To add tax rates, select "Tax | Add Tax Rate" from the mambo-phpShop admin menu. This will bring up the "Add Tax Information" Form.

#### Add Tax Information Form Fields:

Tax Country

  The country this tax rate will be applied to, determined by either the vendor or the purchaser's shipping address.

Tax State or Region

  The State or Region this tax rate will be applied to. If there is no region listed for the country you are configuring a tax rate for, select the "Non-USA / Non-Canadian / Not Listed" option.

  If you don't need a state, but need more than one Tax Rate for a country, just select some "dummy" state for each Tax Rate for that country.

Tax Rate

  Example: .0825

  The tax rate, as a decimal value. For example, 8.25% would be entered as .0825

Click on the "Save" icon to add your new Tax Rate information.

Tax Rate changes will be placed into effect for all purchases moving forward.
