Manual Tax in Shopify is a tax setup method where the merchant manually defines and manages tax rates instead of relying on Shopify’s automatic tax calculations.
With Manual Tax, merchants can:
Create custom tax rates
Set tax rates for specific countries, states, provinces, or regions
Apply product-specific tax overrides
Configure shipping-specific tax rules
Set 0% rates for tax-exempt items
Manual Tax is useful when a merchant needs full control over tax rates or operates in a region where automatic tax calculation is not available or does not meet their specific requirements. However, the merchant is responsible for keeping those manually entered tax rates accurate and up to date.
