After determining their tax obligations, merchants should register with the appropriate tax authority (if required) and configure their tax settings in Shopify.
The typical next steps are:
Register for tax collection in the relevant jurisdiction(s).
Add tax registration details in Settings → Taxes and duties.
Enable tax collection for those regions.
Assign correct product tax categories.
Set up exemptions or tax overrides if needed.
Test tax calculations before processing live orders.
Collect, report, file, and remit taxes according to the required filing schedule.
In short, once merchants know where they must collect tax, they should register and configure Shopify so taxes are calculated and collected correctly on eligible orders.
