Tax Exempt

Tax Exempt options help you waive sales tax for customers who are certified exempt. These override automatic calculations and help to track certification and exempt status.

Automatic calculations, using a Tax Status or service like TaxJar, may determine that no sales tax is collected because a transaction is out-of-state or items are non-taxable.
