Tax rules

Calculating the tax for your online store is essential if you plan to sell taxable items. StoreHippo allows you to set up a number of tax rules that you might need to charge on your sales varying with different countries and states.

Apply when

As per GST rules, different variants of the same product can have a different tax rate. To support that requirement, there is an extra condition to specify the price of the product. So you can define different tax rates based on the price of the product. For example, a product if sold below X amount might have a different tax than if the same product or its variant is sold for an amount above X.

Also, there is a support to specify conditions for HSN/SAC codes. That allows you to reuse the same tax rules for multiple products or have a common global rule that applies to your entirecatalogof products.

Group tax

If the tax contains additional taxes, you need to check this field. A group tax is defined as a tax which constitutes additional taxes. For example, the Service Tax of India is 14% which is a group tax, comprises an additional 0.5% of Krishi Kalyan Cess and 0.5% of Swachh Bharat Cess, thus making the effective total rate as 15%.

Additional taxes

To define an additional tax, you need to click on 'Add Additional Tax' which will open a form withfollowingfields:

  1. Name: The name of the additional tax.
