Product-specific tax rates
Some of the products that you sell can have reduced or increased tax rates or even be tax-exempt. Regardless which tax setup you use in your store — automatic or manual — you can assign different tax rates to different products.
If you’re not sure which taxes apply to your products, consult with a local tax professional.
Assigning product-specific rates for automatic taxes
After you enable automatic taxes, the same standard tax rate of your store’s region applies to all the products. If some of your products require non-standard rates, you can change the tax rate for them.
Available for merchants in the USA, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
To change tax rate for a product:
- From your store admin, go to Catalog → Products.
- Open the product.
- Click the Taxes tab. You will see the tax rate that is currently applied to this item.
- Click Change tax rate for this product:
- From the dropdown, choose the tax rate that applies to your product.

- Save the changes.
That’s it! Now, this product will be taxed according to the tax class that you chose.
Repeat the steps for all the products that should be taxed differently in your store.
Assigning product-specific rates for manual taxes
After you manually set up all the necessary taxes for the locations you sell to, you can choose which taxes to assign to certain products in your store. By default, all the taxes are applied to all the products.
