Sales Taxes are calculated automatically on the taxable subtotal of an order when the state of the Ship To address is set as Taxable. IDSTC utilizes the Independent Systems and Programming Incorporated tax database. Independent Systems is a leading provider of sales tax information throughout the United States. Sales tax tables are updated monthly. Tax is computed based on the 5-digit zip code (or the 5-digit plus 4 zip code if present) of the shipping address.

You can elect to include shipping charges in the taxable amount of an order or on the amount of an order that has been setup with bulk discounts. To set this option, click Company Tab, click ES 100 Setup, click Order, click Sales Tax Options

Select Yes to charge sales tax on shipping charges; select No and shipping charges will not be included in taxable amount of an order. Select ‘By State’ and shipping will only be charged based on the state selected under ‘Taxable States’ found: ES100 > Company > ES100 setup > Order > Taxable States.

Select Yes to charge sales tax on bulk discount, which will charge sales tax on the full retail price; Select No and tax will only be charged on the final wholesale price, not the discounted amount. (See inventory section for more detail on Bulk Discounts.)
