Yes. Merchants should verify automatically updated tax rates.
Although Shopify updates tax rates for many supported jurisdictions, merchants remain responsible for ensuring that their tax registrations, product categories, exemptions, shipping settings, and regional tax configurations are correct.
Regular verification helps ensure that:
The correct tax rates are being applied
Product-specific tax rules are accurate
Tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive pricing is configured correctly
Changes in tax laws or business operations are reflected properly
In short, automatic updates help reduce manual work, but merchants should still review their tax settings periodically to maintain compliance and accuracy.
