How Does Wix Calculate Tax?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:08 am

If you’re running an online business, it’s important to know how Wix calculates tax. Depending on your location, there are different rules and regulations that you need to follow. Here’s a breakdown of how Wix calculates tax for businesses in the United States.

When you set up your Wix account, you’re asked to enter your business location. Based on this information, Wix will charge the appropriate taxes for your area. For example, if you’re located in California, Wix will charge 8.75% sales tax on all orders shipped to California addresses.

If you have a physical store as well as an online store, you can set up separate locations in your Wix account. This way, you can charge the correct taxes for each state or country that you ship to.

To do this, go to your Settings and click Taxes. From here, you can add and manage multiple locations.

When calculating tax for an order, Wix takes into account the ship to address as well as the origin of the product. The origin is determined by the location of your warehouses. For example, if you have a product that’s shipped from a warehouse in California, the origin is considered to be California.

Conclusion:

In short, Wix calculates taxes based on your business location and the location of your warehouses. If you have a physical store as well as an online store, you can set up separate locations in your Wix account so that you can charge the correct taxes for each state or country that you ship to.

PRO TIP: If you are using Wix to calculate your taxes, be aware that the tax calculation is based on the location of your business, not your customer. This can lead to inaccuracies in your tax calculation, so it is important to double check your figures.
