Why should merchants review taxes after migration?

Merchants should review tax settings after migration because tax configurations may not transfer exactly from the previous ecommerce platform.

Key reasons include:

• Verify tax rates for different regions.
• Check tax registration settings and applicable jurisdictions.
• Confirm product tax classifications and exemptions.
• Review international taxes, such as VAT or GST, where applicable.
• Test tax calculations at checkout to ensure customers are charged correctly.
• Prevent overcharging or undercharging customers.
• Maintain accurate financial and tax records after launch.

A post-migration tax review helps ensure the new Shopify store is configured correctly and aligned with the business’s tax obligations.
