Tax Display and Calculation
Control display, tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive, and calculation, at line or order level. Choices vary by jurisdiction expectation.

How tax is displayed + calculated must match local jurisdiction expectation. Mismatch confuses customers + can be illegal in regions requiring inclusive pricing.
Before you begin
- Go to Settings, then open Taxes.
- You have Taxes settings permission.
- You know jurisdiction expectations.

| US | Exclusive (consumers don't see tax until checkout) |
| EU | Inclusive required by law |
| UK | Inclusive required |
| AU | Inclusive required |
| TH | Inclusive typical |
