Configuring BigCommerce Taxes for Australia

OneSaas requires that your BigCommerce is correctly configured to handle and apply taxes on your products.

NOTE: The configuration of taxes should be something that you do together with your accountant or tax advisor. This is generic guidance information only and it might not apply correctly to your products or situation.

The most common and simple configuration for Australia is to apply GST to all your products (in case all your products require GST).

1. Open your BigCommerce Admin Site
2. Open the menu Settings > Tax Settings
   
3. Enter/select the following options and click Save
   
4. Select the Tax Rates & Zones tab and select Add a Tax Zone …
   
5. Enter Australia as the new Tax Zone Zone and select Australia as the Country for the Tax Zone Type to apply the tax to and click Save:
   
6. Select Add a Tax Rate…
   
7. Enter GST as the Tax Rate Name and 10% for the Tax Class Rates except for Non-Taxable Products where you enter 0% then Save:
   
8. Now you can assign those tax rates to your Accounting Tax Rates in OneSaas
