The Shipping Tax Import Wizard can be used the import the free tax tables provided by Avalara™. Please read these important notes before proceeding.
Ø This is only designed to import taxes for states you ship to. Your “home” state taxes, which may include special rules or luxury taxes, should still be set up manually.
Ø Consult a tax professional for assistance in determining sales tax obligations and applicable sales tax rates.
Ø Avalara’s tax tables provide tax rates by ZIP code and include city, state, district, and special taxes. This may not be appropriate for all states. Some states only require state tax be charged on shipped purchases. Consult a professional for assistance in determining which rates apply per state.
Ø Importing many tax tables can impact the amount of time it takes to open POS. This is especially true if you are accessing The Edge remotely, such as a multi-store setup sharing a database through a VPN, WAN, or cloud storage solution.
Ø Make a database backup before importing any tax tables.
