Charging Sales Tax or VAT
It's been a long time coming, but we've finally made it possible for you to charge your customers Sales Tax or VAT! You can charge by country, state, or county (in the US). You can even have multiple tax rates in each jurisdiction, that charge different prices for the different types of products you sell. For instance, sometimes in the US, sales tax for clothing is different than sales tax for a CD. If you set up different prices for each of these types of products, and a fan checks out with both of them, you'll charge them one rate for the CD and another for the clothing.
In addition to supporting multiple jurisdictions and rates per tax rule, you can optionally have digital items and an order's shipping price included in a tax's calculation.
To get started with charging tax, first head into the App Store and install the Tax Rules app. Then, check out this help doc.
