  • Select the State, e.g. California
  • Set the “status” as active
  • Set the “Amount” as per your wish. This could be in Percentage or Amount. (Note: Amount means a flat tax will apply, e.g. $10, so this $10 will be charged to the customer, no matter how much amount of products he/she purchases)
  • Click on Submit
