Avalara simplifies this process by automatically collecting taxes correctly in each location you add. This includes situations where different tax rates apply within smaller subdivisions, such as counties or cities.Keep up with tax changesAvalara makes sure your tax is calculated based on the latest tax rules, so you don’t have to update tax rates yourself. When a tax rate changes, your website automatically adjusts to reflect the updated rate.Tax items at the required rateEach tax location (a country or state/province) has a default tax rate. In some locations, you may also need to collect tax on digital products, shipping charges, or gift cards.When you set up Avalara, you'll see tax groups listed, each with its own Avalara tax code. All these items are automatically added to the appropriate tax group. Avalara is now ready to manage tax correctly for all these items in all your locations. Manage items taxed at special ratesNote:Tax groups are not currently available for Wix Bookings services.A location may tax specific items at a lower or higher rate. For example, in certain places, children's car seats may be tax exempt or liquor may be taxed at a higher rate. To account for this, you can create a custom tax group and add the appropriate items to that group. After setup, customers from different locations and who purchase different items are taxed at the appropriate rate.FAQsClick a question below to learn more about managing tax automatically with Avalara.I already have an Avalara account.
