What it does
Tax settings are easy to get wrong in a way you do not see. Enter prices with tax but show them without it, and a 1,000 price can display as 833. Forget a priority number, and a state is charged the country rate. Leave shipping tax on or off by mistake, and every order is a little wrong. This skill plans how tax is charged in your store. It chooses whether prices include tax, sets the display to match, sets up tax classes, writes the rate rows with the right number format and priority, and gives you test addresses with the total you should see for each. It does not tell you whether you owe tax in a place, or which registrations you need. That depends on your sales and local rules, and is a question for a qualified accountant or tax service. This is not tax advice.
You give it
- Your platform (WooCommerce, Shopify or other)
- The country and state of your business, your stock and your staff
- Where you ship, and whether you sell to consumers, companies or both
- What you sell: physical goods, books, digital goods or services
- Rates from an official or tax-service table for the places you must charge (optional)
- Brand brain (optional)
You get
- A settings sheet: prices entered with or without tax, and how they show in the shop and cart
- A rate table: country, state, rate with four decimals, priority and shipping tax on or off
- A tax class for each product type, and a list of test addresses with the total you should see
- Questions to take to a tax professional
Use it when
- You are setting up tax for a new store and do not know which settings matter.
- Your product prices look wrong at checkout, or tax differs from what you expected.
- You are starting to sell in a new state or country and need the rows and tests.
