Setup your Shopify Taxes Correctly (only 5 min!)

Comment Below: Are you already using Shopify Tax or are you collecting taxes with a third-party Shopify app?

I don't have that new feature for taxes and duties on my Shopify. The screen you are showing is different from what I see on my screen. I don't have the screen you have been updated to a Shopify Tax. How do I go to that screen?

I dont see that offered in Shopify app store.

Hi sorry I’m so new at this. So when it charges the tax to the customer do I need to do something after that or that’s it, taxes are charged and I’m all good? Does it pay me the tax the customer paid and I have to remit it to the state myself?

Great book btw …..Everyone gotta read this book to save yourself from trouble

This is so helpful! Is Shopify tax cheaper than Tax Jar?

I want to ask
Shopify business tax is 30% rate
But Hong kong business tax is only 8% in first 2M$


Do I have to pay shopify tax 30% if my business is located in hong kong?

When should an accountant be hired? After a few sales? I didn’t open my shop yet I’m still working on a business address.

Thank you for this video!

Your videos are very useful and provide lots of information. I have received lots of help after watching this post, please continue to share this kind of information. Thank you.

The United States has over 50 states. Do I need to apply for a sales tax ID in each state?

so i only put one state im collection tax in like where im located or put all the states that im providing service to?

It's to the point where it's getting difficult to profit. Everyone takes their cut, from the government taking their cut 3 or 4 times (sigh) to shopify, payment processors, advertising fees, shipping, and then buying materials and products, and any apps you want all want their monthly fee...it's ridiculous. It's so hard to do any of this anymore. I was in ecommerce like 8 years ago and it was honestly easier back then. There wasn't so much BS. Now it's like everywhere you go whether it's for your own website, or selling on a platform, other people get 90% of your profits. Then the government takes ANOTHER cut, that I just found out about called self-employment tax lmao. You basically have to pay double taxes. This shit is out of control. Anyone who doesn't see the amount this government is over-reaching is blind or has Stockholm's syndrome.

so you hired accountant when starting your business?

so as you can guess im not in any countries that Shopify supports with shopify taxes so how else can i access this?

Do you need a license to set up the taxes?

Hi! Thank you for your video, I'm confused about the Feature (purple box where it allows you to click "Review US tax settings") I don't have that in mine and can't figure out how to have that feature?

Setup your Shopify Taxes Correctly (only 5 min!) = pay for some app to do it for you.
Useless tutorial.

How to fill out shipping override when my products is free shipping?

Great video! Do you recommend going in and just adding every state since we don't know where a sale will come from?

great video, thanks.

Yooo this is my 5000th liked video btw. Nice!

Hi Elle, is this sales tax only applicable to US sellers?

Just in time for Tax season too. I hate taxes like the next person, but if you are confused with the setup on shopify, 4 min of your time and Elle sets it straight. Thanks!
