*Important Tax Information—Please Read Carefully

Sales tax codes vary from state to state. If you have any questions regarding your requirements for charging taxes for online orders, please contact your tax advisor to ensure you are compliant with applicable laws for your city and state.

Taxes charged on orders placed in this system are calculated by matching the

billing address

selected address type (shipping or billing) of the consumer to the Effective Tax Rate information you’ve added
