Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:38 pm

If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you’ll need to enable tax in order to charge your customers the appropriate amount. Here’s how to do it:

First, log into your WordPress dashboard and navigate to WooCommerce > Settings. From there, click on the “Tax” tab.

On the next page, you’ll see the “Enable Taxes and Tax calculations” option. Check the box to enable taxes, then click on the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to enable tax in WooCommerce, please be aware that there are a few things you need to do in order to ensure that your store is correctly configured. Failure to do so may result in inaccurate tax calculations, and could cause problems for your customers.

Before you enable tax in WooCommerce, please make sure that you have:

-Configured your tax settings in WooCommerce
-Set up your tax rates correctly
-Added the correct tax classes for your products

If you are unsure about any of these steps, we recommend seeking help from a qualified accountant or tax advisor. Enabling tax in WooCommerce is a complex task, and getting it wrong could have serious consequences for your business.

Now that taxes are enabled, you’ll need to configure your tax settings. Scroll down to the “Tax Rates” section and click on the “Add New Tax Rate” button.

On the next page, you’ll need to enter your tax rate information. First, select your country from the “Country” drop-down menu.

Then, enter your state or province in the “State/Province” field. Finally, enter your tax rate in the “Rate (%)” field and click on the “Add Rate” button.

Repeat this process for any other tax rates that you need to add. Once you’re finished, click on the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.

And that’s it! You’ve now successfully enabled taxes in WooCommerce.
