How do I create a tax profile?

Profiles are located under Items >> Profiles. Any profiles that you create will be available on this page. Create a new Tax profile by clicking on the "Tax" tab and then the “New” button.

Once a Tax profile is created, it can be selected when creating items.

Tax Profile
If you charge tax for multiple locations, you can create a profile for each location and select the appropriate tax profile as you are listing your item – with no need to open the tax section. Profiles can be created as you create your listings or can be created ahead of time (recommended) under Items>Profiles.

Using Tax Profiles
You can use tax profiles to define your state sales tax information (if applicable) for all available markets.

Profile Name
The profile name will appear in the drop-down menu when you create items. It is important to create descriptive profile names so you can easily identify them in the list. For example, maybe you have a business location in Kansas and New York and you need to charge sales tax for residents in both of these states. Naming your tax profiles “Kansas” and “New York” will allow you to easily locate the appropriate profile as you create your items.

Tax Table
The tax table is where you will set the State/Province tax rate that will be charged to buyers for Vendio Store purchases. When applying sales tax, you will need to determine if your state requires sales tax on the shipping and handling charges. If you are required to apply sales tax to shipping and handling, check the “Include shipping & handling when calculating tax” box.

eBay Specific Tax Settings
The eBay market has tax options that are specific to eBay. If you are listing on eBay, or plan on doing so in the future, you will need to adjust your tax specifications above to match the eBay marketplace’s requirements.

Settings for eBay
If you have already defined and stored a Tax Table for your eBay account, you can apply your tax preferences based on the table already on eBay by checking the “Charge Tax according to the Tax Table already defined in my eBay account” option. If you have not yet defined a tax table for your eBay account, or want to replace a previously stored table with the one defined in this profile, you may update the tax table for any of your eBay ID’s by selecting the appropriate eBay ID from the drop-down menu and hitting the “Update” button. This will send the tax preferences defined in your profile to eBay for the selected eBay ID.

If you only need to charge tax for eBay sales in one of the locations defined in your tax table, select the “Charge tax defined above, but only in” radio box and select the location where you want to charge tax.
