Taxes

Tax calculation options in Umbraco Commerce.

Umbraco Commerce offers two different tax calculation method configurations for calculating an order's tax amounts.

Fixed Tax Rates

This option allows you to define a single fixed tax rate to apply for all products of the same type shipped to the same country. This option is useful for countries that have a fixed tax rate (the norm in EU countries).

Calculated Tax Rates

This option allows you to dynamically calculate the tax obligations of an order by using third-party calculation platforms. This complex option is useful for countries with different tax rates for different product types or regions within the country (the norm in the US).
