This feature is available on all Goodshuffle Pro Plans.
Once you've set up your tax types and regions in your Account Settings, you're ready to assign those tax types to your inventory and custom items.
You don’t need to assign regions at the item level—just the Tax Type. The system will auto-calculate the correct tax rate based on the delivery location and your tax setup.
Adding Taxes to Inventory Items
Navigate to Inventory, then edit the item you want to update.
Scroll to the Tax Type section near the bottom.
Select a predefined tax type from the dropdown.
Click Add, then Save the item.
Now, every time you add that item to a contract, the correct tax rate will automatically be applied based on the location of goods exchange.
How Location Affects the Tax Rate
If the project has delivery, tax is calculated based on the venue address.
If the project is pickup only, tax is calculated based on your headquarters address.
Example:
If your event is at the USC Capital Campus in Washington D.C., and delivery is selected:
A Washington D.C. sales tax will be applied to the item.
If you later change the logistics to drop off in Roanoke, VA, and no city tax is defined:
The software will default to the Virginia state tax for that Tax Type.
Using Multiple Tax Types
You can assign multiple tax types to a single item.
The system will default to the last added tax type unless changed on the contract.
You can change the applied tax by editing the line item in a project and selecting a different tax type from the dropdown.
Taxes on Custom Items
Custom items and packages do not have a default tax type.
When you add a custom item, you must manually assign a tax type if needed.
You can also remove a tax type by editing the line item within the project.
