SuiteCommerce supports the NetSuite SuiteTax feature for customers in the United States and Canada. SuiteTax helps you comply with location-specific tax requirements by letting you select internal or third-party tax engines to calculate taxes. You can select a different tax engine for each tax registration (nexus) on subsidiary records to enhance compliance with each tax jurisdiction or geographic area. For additional information about SuiteTax, see SuiteTax.

You can not use SuiteTax in combination with the Multiple Ship To feature. See Known Limitations of SuiteTax for additional limitations and considerations.

With the SuiteTax feature set up on your Commerce web store, users can see the total tax for their order as soon as they add shipping details during checkout. The total tax recalculates when the site user:

• Adds or removes items

• Changes the item quantity

• Changes the shipping address

• Changes the shipping method

• Applies a promotion
