Use product taxation rules on Fynd Commerce to define how taxes are applied across your catalogue. You can create flexible tax rules based on country, region (state or city), or even specific stores, with the ability to define slab-based tax components.

For example, if you're selling electronics across India, you might want to apply an 18% GST country-wide, but apply a reduced 12% Sales Tax in Karnataka. You can set this using region overrides.

View existing tax rules

1. Go to the Company Panel.
2. Click Settings, then click Taxation.

The taxation list includes:

• Rule name (e.g. Luxury Goods Tax Rule)
• Tax name (e.g. GST, Sales Tax)
• Tax rate (e.g. 8% to 22%)
• Overrides (e.g. 1 Region + 1 Store)
• Action: Click the More options (⋯) button to manage the rule

You can use the Search field to filter rules by name or description. Click Create Tax Rule to begin creating a new rule.

Create a new tax rule

Step 1: Add tax details

• Rule name: Enter a name such as Electronics GST Rule
• Description: Optional note such as Applies to mobile phones and laptops

Step 2: Use AI to suggest tax rates (optional)

You’ll see a prompt:

“Describe what you want; we’ll suggest the tax rates.”

Example input: Cotton shirts, leather shoes, electronic gadgets

Click → (arrow button) to continue, or choose Create Manually to skip suggestions and proceed directly to manual setup.

We'll create a tax rule manually here, so click Create Manually to configure the rule from scratch.

      2. For each slab, enter:

Configure region override

Use Region Overrides when specific states or cities require different tax rates.

   2. Click + Add Slab and define slab values and tax rates

Configure store override

Use Store Overrides to apply custom tax rules to individual stores.

Example use case:

• You want your Delhi E-Way store to apply 20% due to special local taxation.
• Store overrides let you achieve this.

Steps to configure:

1. Click Add
2. Click Store Override
3. In Select Stores, choose one or more stores
   1. Example: DELHI EWAYBILL, AMWAY INDIA ENTERPRISES
