Tax configuration is essential for ensuring accurate sales tax handling when using the NetSuite Connector for order and fulfillment synchronization. The following outlines the necessary steps to set up taxes correctly, focusing on U.S. tax configurations while maintaining default settings for other countries.

How to Configure Taxes?

Follow these steps to configure taxes in NetSuite:

  1. Navigate to Setup > Accounting > Set Up Taxes.
  2. (Optional) If you manage multiple countries, select the United States subtab.
  3. Enable the following options:
    • Enable Tax Lookup on Sales Transactions
    • Customers Default to Taxable
      Note: Ensure that existing customers are set to taxable by reviewing the Tax Setting for Customers.
    • Respect Discount Item Tax Preference.
  4. Confirm that Charge Sales Tax on Store Orders is set to Always.
    Note: This setting allows NetSuite Connector to apply sales tax when required by the marketplace or cart, but it doesn't guarantee tax will always be charged.
  5. Click Save to save your settings.

Important Considerations

When configuring tax preferences, keep the following in mind:

  • Ensure that any taxable items are assigned to a taxable tax schedule. Refer to Taxable Items for guidance.
  • If you are utilizing VAT in your marketplace or cart, refer to Configuring VAT in NetSuite Connector.

By properly setting up these tax configurations, you will ensure accurate tax calculations across transactions in NetSuite.
