You can configure SalesCart to automatically compute Country or County taxes. Once you have used this procedure to establish taxes as a whole, you may use the product link labeled Checkout to turn taxes on and off on a product-by-product basis. (See the section titled, "Checkout").
If your products are distributed without sales taxes, you may also prevent SalesCart from adding taxes to the whole order using the SalesCart Wizard. You configure sales taxes by editing the order database using Microsoft® Access.
1. Start Microsoft® Access and open the order database called shop.mdb.
2. When you open shop.mbd, the switchboard menu will automatically start. Minimize the switchboard.
3. Maximize the Database screen. Select Tables, then Taxes.
4. Add/Change the TaxRate field for each Country or County for which you wish to compute sales tax. Enter the Country or County name using the County column. Enter the associated State name in the State name field if applicable.
5. If a selected Country or County does not have tax, change the TaxRate field to zero (0).
6. Save the table.
Note: If you change all the fields to "0," the sales tax will not be computed for any state. Make sure the "TaxRate" field is set to "0" only for the states or provinces that do not charge tax.
Now that you have designed and constructed your SalesCart Web, you may need to make changes to the global.asa file via the SalesCart Wizard. The following section will show you how to do this.
