How taxes are applied
Taxes in ManyRequests are automatically shown at checkout based on the client’s billing country.
When a client enters their billing information, the system checks if the country matches any of your tax rules. If it does, the corresponding tax rate is applied and displayed in the order summary.
For example:
If you’ve set up a 10% GST for Australia, clients with Australia as their billing country will see GST added automatically.
Clients from countries not included in your tax rules will not see any tax applied.
This ensures that each client is charged the correct tax according to their billing country.
