Sales Tax - VAT - IVA SetupThe FORTUNE3 Shopping Cart & E-Commerce Wizard software applies automatic sales tax calculation for shopping cart transactions for businesses located in the United States or who charge taxes to U.S. customers. Scroll down the State list and select the State that your company is located in or the states to which you charge sales tax to. A percentage rate based out of FORTUNE3's database is selected and displayed by default, but tax rates vary by county, so if your tax rate is different than the one that is shown for the state, you may adjust the tax percentage value located under the scroll down list, then click on "Add". If the "Tax Shipping?" checkbox is selected the Wizard will also take into account the cost of shipping when calculating the USA sales tax. If your company has shipping locations in different States, you may select and "Add" as many States as required. Make sure that all of the States you want to include for taxation purposes appear on your list. In most states, the law is that you should charge your county's sales tax rate only to those customers whose shipping address state is a state where your company ships from. 
The FORTUNE3 Shopping Cart and E-Commerce Wizard software applies automatic taxation (V.A.T.) calculation for shopping cart transactions for businesses located in Canada or who charge taxes to Canadian customers. You can either choose to add a General Canadian Sales Tax, or a Provincial Canadian Sales Tax, the options for both are listed below. General Canadian Sales Tax: If you would like to charge a tax for all customers located in Canada then enter the GST percentage value. If your company uses HST for this General Tax, then enter the HST percentage value. If the top "Tax Shipping?" checkbox is selected the Wizard will also take into account the cost of shipping when calculating the General Canadian sales tax. Provincial Canadian Sales Tax: If your company charges Canadian Sales Taxes based on Province, you can scroll down the Province list on this screen and select the Province that you want to add tax to, then enter the GST percentage value. If your company uses HST for this Province, then enter the HST percentage value and check-mark the "Use HST" option. Then click on "Add". If your company charges PST for this Province, check-mark the "Use PST" option and specify the PST percentage value. Then click on "Add". If the bottom "Tax Shipping?" checkbox is selected the Wizard will also take into account the cost of shipping when calculating either the HST or PST sales tax for this province. If your company charges PST or HST to multiple Provinces, you may scroll down on the list to select other Provinces. Then enter the values for each Province and click on "Add" until all of the Provinces that you want to include are on the list. 
International VAT: The FORTUNE3 Shopping Cart and E-Commerce Wizard software applies automatic taxation (V.A.T. or I.V.A.) calculation for shopping cart transactions for businesses located in Countries other than the United States and Canada. If you charge VAT to Countries outside of the U.S. and Canada, you may scroll down the Country list and make your selection. Enter the VAT (Value Added Tax) percentage value and click on "Add". If the "Tax Shipping?" checkbox is selected the Wizard will also take into account the cost of shipping when calculating the international VAT. If your company charges VAT to different countries, you may scroll down the list to add other countries you want to include. Click on "Add" until all of the countries that you will charge taxes to are on the list.  Surtax by Zip Code/Postal Code : The FORTUNE3 Shopping Cart & E-Commerce Wizard software allows you to specify additional surtax percentages based on the zip code or postal code of the shipping address in the order.

If you charge a surtax for certain Zip/Postal Codes you may enter the zip/postal code you wish to apply a surtax to. Enter the tax percentage value and click on "Add". If the "Tax Shipping?" checkbox is selected the Wizard will also take into account the cost of shipping when calculating the surtax for this zip/postal code. If your company charges a Surtax to different zip/postal Codes, "Add"until all of the zip/postal codes that you charge surtaxes to are on the list.
