Help » Marketing » VAT/Tax Settings

The VAT/Tax manager is a very powerful that enables you to manage all your VAT/Tax rates for each Country and County/States of your choice.

Whatever Country or County/State you add/edit/delete will get reflected on all forms (contact, signup, checkout). For example by default the Counties/States have been filled in for you for the UK, US and Canada. However you could go ahead and also add the States for Japan. When a customer then checks out and they select their Country from the drop down list, all Japanese states would be listed there so saving them from having to enter their own.

Having control over your states is also important for any US customer as with the US tax system, tax must be set on a per state basis which Tradingeye can handle.

You can also use this Country and County/State list to only allow orders from certain places. If you are from the UK for example and you don't want to sell your products abroad. Simple delete all the Countries in the list apart from the UK. The same is true for Counties and States. If you only want to sell to a select few, just delete the rest.

Apply to all states of the this country?

To save you from having to enter a VAT/Tax rate for all Counties/States (if they are the same) you can select this option to have the tax rate entered apply to all Counties/States from within that Country. For example in the UK the VAT rate is 15% no matter where you are from the UK. In the US however, the tax rate is based on a per state basis so this option cant be used.
